Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Although not as thin as the best carving blades, the long blade of this set's knife performs any slicing job, and the knife is just the right length for cooks with medium-size hands. Mundial's Forged line of knives ranks below its Le Cordon Bleu line in prestige, but the knife blades are virtually identical. (Both feature blades forged from single pieces of steel.) This knife handle is not as deeply rounded as those of some manufacturers and the bolster not as thick, resulting in a lighter handle and more weight-forward balance. Hand wash both the fork and knife with mild detergent. Both have lifetime warranties against defects. This set is also available with black polypropylene handles. --Fred Brack

From the Manufacturer

A nice carving set makes a tough job much easier. This two-piece Mundial 2100 Series set includes an 8-inch carving knife that slices meat with ease, along with a 4-inch straight-tined fork that holds it in place. With its rich grain and natural-tone wood handles, the 2100 Series brings warmth and individuality to Mundial's multiple lines of premium, fully forged cutlery. The popular knives feature handles made from a hard, dense-grained wood that has been shaped and polished to fit the hand perfectly. In addition, the 2100 Series is fully forged from high-carbon stainless steel in a time-honored, traditional process that ensures greater strength and lasting sharpness.

The Value of a Fully-Forged Knife
Mundial knives, with very few exceptions, are fully forged in a manufacturing process that combines innovative technology with old-world tradition and expertise. In the forging process, steel is heated to an extremely high temperature, set into a die, and hammered into the shape of the basic blade. Following a heating and cooling process, the forged blade is ground to create a full taper to the cutting edge. The result is a stronger, thicker, more resilient blade that flares smoothly at the heel to blend into the shape of the handle. Fully forged cutlery offers an array of key benefits, including greater tensile strength, increased durability, lasting sharpness, and better balance and control.

Construction
Mundial's computer-aided design creates the perfect shape and balance for chopping, dicing, and slicing all types of food. The knives are fully forged from high-carbon chrome molybdenum stainless steel for the best edge retention and sharpening ease. Each knife also undergoes Mundial's computerized blade grinding and polishing process to create a precise taper from tip to bolster (the quality bolster is the main feature of any truly forged knife). Busy chefs will appreciate the ergonomically crafted handles with full tangs, which deliver comfort, balance, and durability. Every Mundial knife is also hand sharpened and individually tested for ultimate performance.

Quality Control
How do Mundial knives compare to other premium cutlery? In addition to its extensive quality control procedures, Mundial regularly submits its products to an international independent testing facility. These standardized testing methodologies continue to show that Mundial knives are among the best in the world.
