It's how well you maintain it. Just invest in a good knife sharpener. I've had this several yrs and it's still razor sharp.

The gauge is heavy but Henckels is pushing the limits of how light they can get away with lightening the stock and portray it as Henckels Quality. I am reluctant to use the fork to lift a 20 pound turkey or roast. I believe the fork will bend under the weight. A well made forged carving fork will easily withstand that kind of application. <br /> <br />I need to remember this set is priced under $20. The knife has an interesting kind of serration. It isn't the usual wavy serration but a fine toothed cut. When I used it on a roast beef last weekend the blade tended to saw the meat rather than cut or slice. I must say I WAS able to cut clean, thin slices using the knife. I also should mention the serrations are cut into the blade on one side only. I used a very fine diamond wetstone to lightly hone the other side before carving. The honing did improve the slicing through the meat. <br /> <br />The knife feels good in the hand when slicing. It would have been nicer to have a blade a couple of inches longer though. <br /> <br />The set is wonderful for the price point (under $20). If you are like I am, though (a serious cook/chef), you would be happier to wait to save up for a high quality forged carving set (like a Lampson-Sharp brand for example). This set isn't really up to the Henckels name quality reputation. Rating: 3 / 5 This set is stamped metal.

It basically just tore the meat as I cut. Rating: 3 / 5 Like everyone else says the everedge just isnt that great. It basically just tore the meat as I cut.

If you're a pro, semi-pro, or weekend warrior chef, this isn't a set for you. $20 is fair price to have this set in your drawers.
