Creative ways to display flatware? [more inside]

Where can I find a fancy travel flatware set as a 60th birthday present for my quirky, foodie colleague? He currently brings his own sterling in lieu of the plastic utensils at the local taco joint. I was inspired by this exhibit, which displayed travel fork/knife/spoon sets, which were apparently very fashionable hundreds of years ago, when my coworker really should have been born. I'm looking for a travel set to replace his current flatware, which he just rolls up and lugs around, either new or vintage, that's around $100. Something nicer than a typical camping set. Where should I look?

Silverwarefilter: As much as I hate to waste a mefi question on this, but I feel I have to because it's driving me crazy. I have a set of stainless steel silverware and a set of cutlery also made of stainless steel (different brands/sets). We wash them in the dishwasher and they are constantly getting these orange like rust stains on them. How do I get rid of these? They can be rubbed off with some heavy scrubbing but I want the stains to stop recurring. Any ideas?
