Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This two-piece set contains a dual-pronged fork designed to lift and secure large cuts of meat, including roast beef, turkey, and ham, for ease in carving, paired with an 8-inch carving knife with a slim and narrow blade to facilitate even, precise meat cutting. The ergonomically designed polypropylene handles--like that of all the products in the Four-Star line--are designed to balance perfectly in the hand.

Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is not only one of the world's oldest cutlery manufacturers, it's also one of the most well-respected, creating best-selling knives guaranteed to last a lifetime. --Kim Harwell

From the Manufacturer

First introduced in 1976, the Four Star® Series is one of the world's most popular knife lines. Four Star® knives were designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs. The result was a fully forged knife with a unique molded handle. The Four Star® line contains knives for all tasks, and includes the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chef’s, granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Four Star® knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets.

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction

Four Star® knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Four Star® knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Four Star® knives use J.A. Henckels’ Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

It's All in The Grip:

The Four Star® series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These comfortable handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance.

Features:

• SIGMAFORGE 1-piece, precision forged construction: Provides perfect geometry, high precision, and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting edge retention for lasting sharpness.
• Laser controlled edge: Is sharper and stays sharper longer. Has a more consistent blade angle.
• Friodur ice hardening: Maximum no-stain properties and more blade strength. Improved resistance to corrosion and pitting.
• Super bolster: Provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance.
• Full rat-tail tang: Provides a proper balance and greater strength.
• High-carbon no-stain steel, an exclusive J.A. Henckels formula: Non-staining, non-rusting.
• Hand, precision honed blade: Is sharper and stays sharper longer.
• Bonded polypropylene handles: Comfortable molded handles and food safe
• Dishwasher safe: Easy care (Although hand-washing is recommended by J.A. Henckels).
• Full warranty: J.A. Henckels stands behind all its knives.

Henckels makes a great knife and this set represents a great value. If you like a heavier knife, go with a Wustof. If you favor a lighter set, this is the one.

I have read many instructions on carving a turkey and I could never achieve nice slices. Now I can. Turns out I knew what I was doing I just did not have the proper tools. This carving set, with it's very sharp knife and strong fork, is wonderful.

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Zwilling Four Star 2-Piece Carving Set (Kitchen)

The carving knife is OK and works well for both poultry and beef/pork roasts. The real thing of beauty is the carving fork!!!! After using normal(??) carving forks with tines that are 3-4" in length, the long tines on this fork is an absolute joy to work with. If you do not particularly care for the knife, buy the set for the fork, and relegate the knife to your junk drawer. I have never had a carving fork before like this, it is wonderful.
