Product Description

Amazon.com

Packed in an attractive hard brushed-aluminum case, this exquisite carving set makes an elegant presentation. The sturdy and heavy 6-inch carving fork holds a hefty rib-eye steak or roasted turkey breast with ease and the superior 8-inch blade delivers either thick and juicy or paper-thin slices with ease.

Part of Wüsthof’s popular Classic line of cutlery, this knife and fork have a very traditional design. The knife’s blade is hand-forged from high-carbon stain-resistant steel so it retains its sharp edges longer and is easier to resharpen. The blade is also ground and polished by computer to ensure perfect tapering from tip to bolster. A signature feature of Wüsthof knives, the weighted bolster gives this knife the perfect heft. For balance, full tangs extend through the synthetic handles on both the knife and carving fork and are triple-riveted for strength. --Cristina Vaamonde

I have had Wustof knives for 25 years. That is I've never replaced them. If you take care of them they will last your lifetime. My chefs knife I use everyday. A few pulls across a steel once in a while and its as sharp as when it was new. This set was for my Father for his birthday. He was thrilled. He said the case was beautifuly made and the long tined fork really impressed him, he knew he could really get a grip on any roast with that fork. The knife was the best balanced and sharpest he can remember and he has had quite a few. Quite an impressive gift.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Knife, but not at all worth it's asking price!, November 18, 2010

Even at the $130 price that Amazon asks for this supposedly $260 carving set, it simply is NOT a good value. The knife does not come shipped sharp enough to slice even soft meats as easily as you would hope for considering its $100+ price tag. Sharpening the knife seems to yield little results that make it sharper for a carving or two, but it just seems to lose its edge way too quickly.

I hate to seem to insult this knife, but I get better, easier meat slicing using the cheapo Miracle blade knives. No joke either. Sure the miracle blades may not be built as solid, but I'd much rather buy 3 or 4 complete sets of miracle blades then this two piece carving set.

The only plus I give this set is the solid and comfortable handles and the nice carry case. Cons are dull blade out of the box, hard to sharpen and hold it's edge. There is better carving knives out there at a fraction of the price, even at 60% off or whatever.

Save your money.. or at least buy a helluva lot better carving knife for your money.
