Amazon.com Review
Two sturdy prongs and an ergonomic handle make this a top-notch meat fork. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for rust-resistance and durability, this fork lifts hefty meat and then secures it for carving. The super-sharp 8-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle of the knife make this an excellent carving knife. This knife readily slices through any form of meat--and just about anything else you may need to slice for that matter. When it is finally time to sharpen the slim blade, worry not, for it lends itself well to both a sharpening stone and steel. Once you've achieved the edge you want, a few quick sweeps along a steel each time you use the knife should keep the edge in fine condition.
The ergonomic polypropylene handles lie comfortably in your hand, facilitating strain-free use; the metal bolsters act as a finger-guard; and the blade, bolster, and tang are fused into a seamless piece for easy handling and balance. The absence of rivets and recesses in the synthetic handles allows for dishwasher use. Finally! Still, the best way to care for this set is to hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse it well, and then immediately wipe it dry. --Marcela Broussard

Superb meat carver, December 26, 2010
This review is from: Henckels Five Star 2-Piece High Carbon Stainless Steel Carving Set (Kitchen)
I bought this carving set because, while I had a fairly complete set of Henkels Five Star cooking knives, I needed a great meat fork for carving. This set really fills the bill. The meat fork is the best carving fork I've ever used -- much less owned, because the stout tines (which are not too large in diameter) can pierce deeply into the meat, allowing the slicing knife to slide along the fork for making beautiful thin cuts.
Excellent for carving rib roasts and other large roasts, as well as hams and turkeys. The handles keep you firmly in control of whatever dish you are carving, and while they are functional, they were admired by all the guests at Thanksgiving.
