This carving set really is beautiful and well made. The specifications Amazon put in the description are contained in the packaging, which does not include a case, just a cardboard box. Amazon ran this set for $9.99 about three weeks ago, and this price was truly a screaming deal. I already have an Anolon paring knife that I paid $20 for, and that convinced me beforehand that the carving set would be well worth purchasing. Now I cannot decide whether to keep this for myself or give it to my brother for his birthday.

I have owned professional knives costing $80+ and this knife far exceeded my expectations for the price. The first night I used it the knife cut through my raw meat like butter. I was stunned as I had not owned a knife like this in about 4 years. The next day for kicks I took it out to the garden and trimmed down some 2" width stalks on my Hawaiian lei plant (plumeria) to encourage new spring growth. The tops came off effortlessly. Next I tried it out on some oranges and it sliced right through clean as if the orange was invisible. Finally, I carved up a ham and had thin beautiful slices just like at the deli. Like the other reviewers, I have always been pleased with Anolon products, and this is no exception. They have tight quality controls and consistently put out great products. I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a good carving knife, or for that matter, a good all around knife. The only complaint I have is that I would have liked to have also received a full length sheath with the knife for easy storage.
