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!!

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.

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.

I got this set for a Christmas present for my boyfriend, who is in culinary school and also works as a cook. He is very picky about his knives and will almost only buy Henckels. So far, they've worked great. He was pleased with the fork it came with as well.

I purchased the 2 Pc Carving Set and was very pleased with the third set I received. Out of the first two sets one had a burr on the tip of the knife and the other knife had a burr on the blade. Amazon furnished the postage paid return labels for each set. I knew these Henckel knives were authentic because there were two "Little Men" on the box which is the symbol of Henkel knives made in Germany. The boxes with one "Little Man" is made somewhere else and may be good but with less quality. The carving set cost $260.00 and Amazon's promotion was selling it for $99.95 and I applied for an Amazon Visa Card which gave me a $30.00 credit and the knives cost me $69.95. Great deal. Amazon stands behind their products.

I have been looking for a high quality carving set for Thanksgiving turkeys and general meat carving. I did a lot of research on the best brands and decided upon the Zwilling Henckels Twin Pro-S. Based on Henckels' reputation and the reviews on many other products this one seemed best for quality and durability. The knife cuts meat like butter and the fork is a great shape and light, but weighty enough to do a great job securing the meat. I am very happy with this purchase. Their steak knives are great also!

I'm not into cooking much, and I only use these for carving the Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys. It cuts super sharp, making it safe and easy. It was easy to clean, and stays sharp

Like the shape and strength of the fork tines, the edge of the knife could of been keener. Over all he is satisfied with the product. I purchased this for my husband for a Christmas present. He had been looking for set like this for years. Thank you for the superior quality of the product.
