J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 2-Piece Stainless-Steel Carving Set
It isn't as reliable as the old fashioned regular knives my parents had but it does work well. The serrated knife is taking me a little previously to get used too but it does cut well. We don't use it very often so I can't comment on how long it will stay sharp. For the price I'm satisfied!
Apart from!
We are not great meat carvers, but this set has worked great for the occasional uses we've had (about every 3 months). Very sharp (scrupulous out there!), good and sturdy quality, good sized. Highly recommended!
Okay set. I should've gotten forged
This set is stamped metal. The yardstick is heavy but Henckels is pushing the limits of how light they can get away with lightening the stock and portray it as Henckels Importance. I am reluctant to use the fork to lift a 20 pound turkey or roast. I believe the fork will bend under the arrange. A well made forged carving fork will easily withstand that kind of application.
I need to remember this set is priced under $20. The knife has an engrossing kind of serration. It isn't the usual wavy serration but a fine toothed cut. When I used it on a roast beef last weekend the knife tended to saw the meat rather than cut or slice. I must say I WAS able to cut clean, thin slices using the knife. I also should mention the serrations are cut into the frond on one side only. I used a very fine diamond wetstone to lightly hone the other side before carving. The honing did improve the slicing through the food.
The knife feels good in the hand when slicing. It would have been nicer to have a blade a couple of inches longer though.
The set is wonderful for the evaluate point (under $20). If you are like I am, though (a serious cook/chef), you would be happier to wait to save up for a high prominence forged carving set (like a Lampson-Sharp brand for example). This set isn't really up to the Henckels name quality repute.
Not so glaring.
Like everyone else says the everedge very recently isnt that great. It basically just tore the meat as I cut.
It's not the knife...it's the preservation
Even Alton Brown will word you, it's not the price of the knife. It's how well you maintain it. Just invest in a good knife sharpener. I've had this several yrs and it's still razor sharp.
