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 From the Manufacturer  | The J.A.

I didn't mind paying a high price for a product with a lifetime guaranty. But, when I sent my knife back for replacement, I was told that the bent tip on my knife was not a manufacturing defect. The tip on the knife bent, I think, just the heat from carving some piece of food. They refused to repair or replace. Wanted me to buy another. Got me once, shame on them. I'll buy America this time......
