Ginsu Chikara Series 2 Piece Japanese 420J2 Stainless Steel Carving Set with 8-InchCarving Knife an

Got this knife as a present for my parents as their carving set is a million years old and dull. Didn't have much to spend but the price made me a little wary anyway as I didn't want a cheap knife. Didn't have anything to worry about as it turns out. Overall, I am very pleased with the knife and fork. The knife was incredibly sharp, had a good weight,and a thick blade so it did not bend at all. It went through the turkey like it was cutting butter. Can't speak to the longevity obviously, but this was really nice for the price.

The case is better than other reviews have indicated. The top easily slid off and the case is made of heavier wood than I had anticipated. The entire package is more formidable than I would have thought given the price so that was good. The only drawback of the case is the glass in the top is very flimsy, probably would crack or break very easily if you are not careful, but hey, who really cares that much. At the end of the day you could toss the top and still have a nice box in which to hold the knife.

The knife will probably arrive a little dusty. Mine seemed to have some carbon powder, I'm guessing it was sharpened and immediately packaged, so I made sure to wash it before I gifted it.

UPDATE

Had a chance to use this knife on a few occasions now and it is ridiculously sharp. Went through a ham like butter and carved a turkey in no time. There are better knives at higher prices but this is definitely a good one at this price.

I've had this set for several months now and it stands up very well. The knife holds an extremely sharp edge with minimal honing after every use. It's well balanced and slices through meats and birds with ease. Yes the box is relatively cheap but that is secondary for me. It holds the set in a drawer and isn't a display piece. Keeps the set free from knicks and scratches and looks fine. Mine was easy to open and close unlike the previous reviewer.

I've only used it once for a pork roast, but it cut great. Good value for the money. I have a Cutco seraded knife at our other house, and so far this one seems to cut as well.

I bought this knife for thanksgiving this pasr November, and it worked great. The blade lenght was fine, ans the fork was plenty long. I would say if you are looking for an all around entry-point carving set, this will fit the bill.

FYIAs I have used this all of one time, I cant speak to the longevity of this set.

The knife set is just okay. The china stamp is on the blade and the filings are visible, typical Chinese workmanship. Cheap quality but will do the trick for my needs to take camping and just not to care what will happend with it. My other meat fork is made in Germany costs more and much better quality.

The wooden box, bamboo, came in cracked on the bottom and is a total throw away. I really do not need the box but could use it for other purposes.

Wil contact the seller about the cracked box.

Will not recommend this item but if if you need something that does the trick it will work. Next time I will spend more money for a better set. I think the better set worth the money.
