Amazon.com Review
The thin, long blade of this set's knife makes any fine-slicing job a breeze. The fork's prongs are faceted rather than flat and are exceptionally attractive. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish the Pro S line from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Handles in the Pro S line are heavier and smaller, which makes the knives less weight-forward. The steel used in this line is identical to that used in the Five and Four Star lines, and the knives are constructed using the same technique. High-tech welding combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, giving the knife its distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Though traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, Henckels claims that the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. These knives may be placed in the dishwasher, but hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack
From the Manufacturer
 | The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series features trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling--it’s a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chef’s, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered. |
A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction
Twin Pro S 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, Twin Pro S 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, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels’s Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.
An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use
 | J.A. Henckels’s Twin Pro S knives boast a comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design that won’t wear against the hand and helps to provide control when doing any cutting task. These durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife for stability and durability. The impeccably balanced super bolster provides weight and adds balance for safer and more professional cutting. |

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 2-Piece Carving Set (Kitchen)
As always, the Pro-S series of knives continue to amaze me. Carving a turkey or chicken has never been easier. Slicing meat of any kind is a breeze. Cutting meat feels about like cutting butter -- that's how sharp these knives are. Keep away from fingers!!

Excellent value, excellent quality, but I got a bad one.,

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 2-Piece Carving Set (Kitchen)
I assume the set I got is a rare occurrence. The knife was bent at the tip, or it had a burr that wasn't ground off in the manufacturing, it was hard to tell which. The fork's handle was cracked just at the first rivet on one side. The crack appeared to go all the way through so the piece would eventually fall off after the bonding becomes weakened from use. It's a shame because we were adding this to our kitchen which has mostly Henckels Twin Pro-S knives.
I returned it to Amazon and ordered the Wusthof 8" carving set since it has almost exactly the same construction and design. I trust their quality as much as Henckels and recently purchased a Wusthof 9" bread knife. At the level of Twin Pro-S for Henckels and Classic for Wusthof the quality seems to be equally matched. I find the balance of Henckels is more comfortable, the Wusthof being a bit heavier in the front. The Henckels carving set looked excellent and I was surprised to see that the fork included was the more expensive one rather than the one shown in the picture on Amazon. The one shown here (at the moment) is the 59 dollar fork and the one I received was the 99 dollar one - if purchased separately. This carving set is an excellent value and a lifetime investment. Hand wash and keep it in a block or protected some other way, it probably won't get used all that often and needs to be stored safely. I wish we'd gotten one without the problems although I'm sure we'll be as satisfied with the Wusthof as we would have been with this set. Another note as to why we are changing brands for the carving set is that the fork had slipped out of its cradle in the gift box in shipping. It not only was rubbing against the spine of the knife but it poked out of the packaging in a dangerous manner. It nearly skewered my finger when I pulled it from the shipping carton. I'm giving it three stars only because I was not satisfied with the condition I received it in. I would have given it five stars if it was in perfect shape and the packaging had held together.

Gorgeous, and well-balanced!,

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 2-Piece Carving Set (Kitchen)
Gorgeously made, well-balanced, and lovely to look at. Feels great in my (smallish) hands, and I actually really like that the wood on the handles is flat-sided...strangely comfortable.
