For smaller roasts, turkeys, or Cornish game hens, this 8-inch carving knife cuts precise slices of meat without shredding or tearing it. Part of the Pro S cutlery series, this knife has a fully forged, high-carbon stainless-steel blade. The blade, bolster, and tang are welded of one piece of metal using Henckels's Sinter Metal Component Technology, which distributes the right quantities of metal to each part of the knife. The result is a longer-lasting edge and a more consistent angle on the blade. The blade has also undergone Henckels's Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens it and protects it from discoloration. The traditional-style black synthetic handle is secured to the tang with three stainless-steel rivets. This carving knife is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2021Color: BlackSize: 8"Style: Carving KnifeVerified PurchaseWhat a difference. I bought our knife set in a department store a few years ago and spent “good” money on it. What I didn’t realize is how quickly they dulled after even a little use. Maybe they weren’t that sharp to begin with. After struggling to cut round steak for stir fry, I decided to find a better knife. I learned that although my Henckel knives were good, Zwilling was the better option. I bought this and it was literally a night and day difference. It’s so sharp we actually have to take extra care with it. Cutting any meat takes almost no effort and only the slightest motion and pressure. Wish I had done this years ago.
I want an excuse to buy more, but this knife is versatile enough for everything I’ve needed it for.
