I would have given the product 3 stars, but with Amazon's (current) fantastic pricing at just under $28 I give this product 4 stars. I would recommend purchase for someone wanting a carving set for occasional use like Thanksgiving, the odd dinner party every once and a while etc :-). Looks stylish.
Pro's: low cost through Amazon, stylish, has the "look" of a high end knife, def does the job for occasional use, reasonably good stainless steel used, packaged quite well and could make a very presentable gift.
Con's: Handle and bolster of knive not a great weight leading to average balance and handling, handle feels "cold" , Knife blade is wielded together to the handle next to bolster, (unlike higer end knives that are one piece forged steel which equals better strengh and durability), not for high use or commercial uses.The set seems to be well made, good quality, and the knife is razor sharp as we had hoped it would be. For home use, can not really see why anyone would spend more money on a carving set unles they just want a particulr knife. They should last for many years. Glad we bought them.
Buy Jamie Oliver Carving Set Now
I have to admit, my husband and I are both knife snobs!! We only ever purchase the top brands and pay top dollar.I was buying a block knife set and a carving set for my son-in-law and didn't want to disappoint him, but wanted to be frugal about it, therefore I did a ton of leg work before buying. I fell in love with the ones by Jamie Oliver. They have the strength and sturdiness of a German brand knife yet the flexibility of the Japanese knives. It allows for the best of both worlds. I settled on these and had them shipped to my son-in-law. They arrived so quickly and they were loved by their new owner. The weight has a perfect balance in the hand and they are strong and sturdy but also flexible. My son-in-law was really happy with them and I got some brownie points!! I have since then seen them for myself and have to totally agree. The knives are wonderful and this carving set is great. I know when I am in the market for more knives, Jamie Oliver's is the way I will go. I highly recommend them.beautiful set. My kids love it. My son said the knife slices through any kind of meat effortlessly. Must be careful, tho, they are SHARP!!!This product is good value for money. They are nice to hold, good balance and sharp. Just as I expect it to be.
