4.0 out of 5 stars
An exceptionally nice carving set for the price, December 31, 2007
This review is from: Anolon Brunello 2-Piece Carving Knife and Fork Set (Kitchen)
I already owned an Anolon Brunello bread slicer, which is a very nice knife with a gorgeous laminated wood handle, so when I saw this set, I jumped on it. Still, I wasn't expecting it to be this nice.
Both the slicer and the fork are quite substantial in weight, but well balanced. The tines of the fork are sharp and smoothly finished and slide into the meat easily. The blade on the slicer has a series of little depressions along each side which keep the food from sticking to the blade. It is quite sharp and sliced through a roast and steak easily.
The blade is a perhaps a little too thick to please a knife connoisseur, but for the price (I paid $20), I think it's an excellent buy and it is really a beautiful set. In fact, the day my first set arrived, I ordered 2 more as gifts!

Have not been disappointed w/ anything by Anolon, January 3, 2008
This review is from: Anolon Brunello 2-Piece Carving Knife and Fork Set (Kitchen)
As the other reviewers noted this IS a beautiful knife set. I liked it so much that I came back and bought a few more sets before they sold out since the set is cheaper than one individual piece!! I also ordered the bread knife for myself and once it arrives, I likely will order more to make gift sets. The set is a little on the heavy side for those who prefer lighter weight knives. I will hand wash them to preserve the wood and knife blade. I also own Anolon cookware, bakeware, and utensils which I absolutely love and NEVER have been disappointed in the quality of their products, even the ones made in China.

Beautiful carving set, January 12, 2008
This review is from: Anolon Brunello 2-Piece Carving Knife and Fork Set (Kitchen)
This carving set really is beautiful and well made. The specifications Amazon put in the description are contained in the packaging, which does not include a case, just a cardboard box. Amazon ran this set for $9.99 about three weeks ago, and this price was truly a screaming deal. I already have an Anolon paring knife that I paid $20 for, and that convinced me beforehand that the carving set would be well worth purchasing. Now I cannot decide whether to keep this for myself or give it to my brother for his birthday.
