Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 2-Piece Carving Set

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.

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 was a little skeptical about the benefits of a carving knife, but wow, this knife is amazing (good weight, good quality). It cut through the turducken like butter. The carving fork was perfect for keeping the stuffing in place while cutting through the birds. I've only used it once, but will definitely find add'l opportunities to use this set.
