Carving Knives and Forks Reviews

I got this set after reading the reviews. And guess what..the reviews are wrong.

I used one knife so far, it was sharp and good. I used it and cleaned it with water and put it in the wooden block. The next day I had trouble taking it off from the block. After I did I saw it had rust!

Yes, thats right, it rusted.

I dont care how ergonomical it is if it rusts after a single use!

You will regret if you buy this awful set.

As this was being shipped, and with my luck, I was quite anxious that I would receive a bad knife block set. Surprisingly, it's held up fine and served me well. No rust; blades are still as sharp as new (I've been cooking a *lot* lately); handles are fine; rivets still intact.

With the # of pieces in this set, however, I must say, what a HUGE value this is!

This is definitely in the class of Henckels ($80). Solid and nice looking. I purchased 3. What a great gift! It even comes nicely packaged. Definitely not a 'Chinese Cheapo'!

I'll start by admitting that I'm a Wusthof fan. As far as my knives go; even though I'll freely admit that the Calphalon Traditional series are an excellent value, my Wusthof Classic set is enough better to justify the price difference in my eyes. That loyalty stops fast when it comes to things like meat forks. Yes, the Wusthof is a little beefier, but the Calphalon is more than good enough for any conceivable home use at one-fifth the price. This fork is a pleasure to use for both carving and turning roasts and such. In fact, my only complaint is that at this time, they don't offer a curved fork as well (anyone listening out there?). If you are in the market for a fork like this, there is simply nothing else I've seen that even remotely approaches it for quality and value.

While manufactured in China, you'd never know it were it not forthe small "made in China sticker. forged from Solingen steel( rumors say it is provided by the High end A.B. Dick cutlers.)perfectly balanced andas as rigid as any carving fork sold by the German big names ( Wusthoff /Trident, Henckels, etc.)but at a fraction ofthe price. In appearance this fork will actually match the big names'top knives.My advise: grab one or two before Calphalon realizes that they can easily doublethe price andstill be competitive

When the knife 1st touches the surface of the food you are going to cut, it it takes more effort to get started. I primarly use my knife for carving rib-roast.

This is my first electric knife, and I'm glad I read the reviews here on it before buying it. Works like a charm, easy to clean and operate, and makes slicing our homemade bread very easy.

More powerful than other electric knives I've used. Cuts easily through cold meats. Well designed and comfortable to use.

this is is really nice knieve and yes I can cut cheese with it so thin, awesome. Actually you can cut all very thin with a hard texture like parmesan, parma, half frozen stuff like tuna,

but don't try to get thin slices from warm filet! it just don't work. It's not sharp enough. So freeze it a little and then you can cut it thin enough, but its still a nice knieve, but you must get it way sharper!

The first time I used this was to slice soporsato for the Superbowl....Excellent knife! I was able to slice this cured sausage diagonally, and with thin, even slices which can be really difficult. Love this knife....I look forward to many years of use with this knife!

I eat a lot of Italian cold cuts like prosciutto, which has to be sliced paper thin. Until I got this knife last year, I have been using an electric slicer (a commerical one like those in a deli) to do the job. With some practice, I can slice ham with this knife almost as thin as the machine and it is a lot easier to clean it then an electric slicer. I also use it to slice meat and fish often. The rounded tip makes it easy to work with, at least for me, because the sharp tip of a typical 10 inch slicer makes me nervous. Lastly, the blade is quite flexible and it took me a little while to get used to it.

I've owned several electric knives, & this is the very worst one. Shame on Hamilton Beach for designing a product that requires you to press a bottom button up as you have to guide the knife down. Anyone w/a touch of arthritis is going to have a tough time. No matter how many times I tried, even though I always used a bread slicer as a guide, I could never slice a loaf evenly w/this knife. I thought the price was good, but it was wasted $$$, as I've had to replace this knife a month later. This time I bought a Presto--hard to find, but I know it works. My last Preso was used every day for the past decade.

I shopped at many places and saw many electric knives before I decided to buy this set. I am so glad I waited to make my purchase. The knife is beautiful, and it makes a clean smooth cut. I am impressed with the quality for the price. I loved getting the matching serving fork as an extra in the set. I have used this knife on brisket, ribs, and a prime rib and I am totally satisfied. I highly recommend this set to any and all in need of a beautiful set that works.
