I have used Henkel 4 Star products for decades and was not disappointed with the quality and performance of the 2 piece carving set. I noticed that the fork has been redesign with a slight flair to the tines (my older fork had longer tines in parallel) but the 4 Star line is still made only in Germany and the construction is superb. I definitely recommend this product.
I was entertaining and needed a carving set. I went straight for Zwilling. The name has always meant the best in quality cutlery to me. The forged German steel blades is very sharp. I get nice thin slices every time. The tines on the fork are sharp and slim so they dont tear the food. The handles are very comfortable and the texture gives me a good grip.
Unless of course you're giving it as a gift. This Four Star carving set is a keeper for a lifetime. It is made of steel that will last. The knife stays sharp for a long time and when the it finally needs to be resharpened, it can be. Not all steels can.
There’s a reason the Four Star line has been a part of Zwilling’s lineup forever. It was designed with professionals in mind, so the focus was on safety, comfort and durability. The ‘grippy’ polypropylene handle is proportionate to the blade and the work - therefore no excess weight. The blade steel and method of construction is proprietary and at the forefront of technology. The blade can both take a beating and hold an edge, ideal for daily use and hard work.
Although dishwasher safe, all knives perform and look better if they are hand washed. I’ve had a Four Star in my collection for decades. And it still looks almost new.
I love this carving set because the handle is very comfortable to use with it's curve and the material that it's made out of. The carving fork makes it very easy to pick up the meat that I'm cutting with the sharpness and the width of the tines.
A carving set will make a nice presentation at special meals. It also helps any time to have a good quality carving fork and knife. The Four star line is a great value for the quality. The moulded handle feels very comfortable and has a clean look.
This set is perfect for carving all meats, even the big cuts like prime rib. The pieces are made from German Special Formula Steel, and the knife forged from one piece of steel so durable for a lifetime. The knife blade is also ice hardened so blade will stay sharper for a longer period. The handle is comfortable and lightweight, a nice option compared to other heavy handle knives.
