Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star II 2-Piece Carving Set

Received this as a gift to add to my existing set of Henckels Four Star II knives. Have used it to carve turkey, ham, pork, and beef. It's the best carving knife I've used. Good weight and easy to grip also.

I was shopping for a a nice carving fork, and carving knife and not a set. This set popped up in my search and it didn't have any negative reviews. All glowing reviews and the price was reasonable at $135. The first thing I carved with this knife was a pork tenderloin, and it didn't slice thru the 1.5 pound lean, long, marinated tenderloin with one swipe. I washed, and dried it and honed it on my steel. Gave it another try with the same results. I had my husband give it a go when I cooked a rump roast and he asked if I got the knife at good will. We went shopping at W-S at the mall to purchase a better knife, and ended up getting the Wusthof Classic Ikon Carving Knife Wusthof Classic Ikon 8-Inch Carving Knife, Black plus some other goodies.

After running this Henckles Carving knife thru my new Wusthof knife sharpener, it did bring a new edge to it and make it much more useful. It's still far behind in quality compared to the Ikon.

I love the fork that came with the set. Holds the roast securely for carving and is also useful for turning steaks. Sold, sturdy and easy to clean.

I guess it's possible I got a bad knife.

Update:

We purchased the J.A. Henckels Professional "S" 10" Hollow Edge Slicer and my husband just had to have the Shun DM0720 Classic Hollow-Ground Slicing Knife, 9-Inch. Of course it's a no contest with the surgical, razor sharp edge of the Shun. But most large Shun knives make me nervous. Their bread knives and pairing knives I adore. The Henckels 10" Slicer does a beautiful job making thin slices of roast beef, prime rib, ham, pork roast and tenderloins and even hard salami and pastrami. Our neighbor turned us on to this slicing knife and I love it.

The Wusthof Classic Ikon Carving Knife is still my preference for poultry...my husband uses the Shun of course.

Great carving set as expected. Carving the Christmas Turkey this year was a real pleasure. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a great carving knife set (I have had the rest of the Four Star II block set for a couple of years and they have been great to work with).
