Amazon.com Review

Although not as thin as the best carving blades, the long blade of this set's knife performs any slicing job, and the knife is just the right length for cooks with medium-size hands. Mundial's Forged line of knives ranks below its Le Cordon Bleu line in prestige, but the knife blades are virtually identical. (Both lines feature blades forged from single pieces of steel.) This knife handle is not as deeply rounded as those of some manufacturers and its bolster not as thick, resulting in a lighter handle and more weight-forward balance. The knife and fork will go through the dishwasher, but it's not recommended, because they might suffer nicks. Both have lifetime warranties against defects. This set is also available with hardwood handles. --Fred Brack

This review is from: Mundial 5100 Series 2-Piece Carving Set, Black (Kitchen)
Well, I bought a Mundial 8" chef knife and was impressed. I added a 7" Santuko, 3.5" paring and then this carving set. All are fully forged except for the carving fork which doesn't need to be. Balanced well and nicely sharp. You can get better knives for sure but unless you live in the kitchen or at least semi-pro the cost rockets. Mundial, for those who don't know are a German knife-making company that moved to Brazil because of the high quality ore there. Furthermore Brazilian steel, while being such high quality is staggeringly cheaper than other western steels so to get an equivalent knife with a Henkels name on or similar you would have to pay a lot more. The clincher for me was this. Not only do Mundial have their own quality controls in place, but every year they send their knives to independent reviewers to get unbiased feedback. Each time they attain the highest standard from those reviewers.
