Perfect carving fork
By Warren J. Dew
I have used three carving forks over the past 30 years. This one is by far the best I have used. It replaced a carving fork from Wusthof's classic line - the line that set the standard for kitchen cutlery for a century, until Wusthof introduced the Culinar line. The Wusthof classic fork had in turn replaced a stainless steel fork from another German manufacturer.I originally wanted this Culinar fork to match my Culinar knives, even though I figured the match would just be a matter of looks rather than functionality. I was wrong. The difference between this fork and other carving forks is even bigger than for the knives.Perhaps the biggest difference is in the handle. The handle of most carving forks does not fill an average to large size hand. This allows the fork to move a bit even with a firm grip, limiting how well one can hold the roast still. That's only a minor inconvenience for a sirloin or tenderloin roast where one is making vertical slices against the carving board, but can be major annoyance with a larger rib roast or a whole turkey, where some cuts are made horizontally or at other angles.The handle of this Culinar fork allows a much surer grip, making it a breeze to carve. That's true whether you have large or small hands, thanks to the taper of the handle. The butt end of the handle is quite beefy, but even a toddler can get a sure grip by grasping the narrow end of the handle just below the neck. While the stainless steel of the handle looks smooth, the brushed surface actually makes it less slippery than even composite and wood handles.This fork has other advantages as well. The tines are straight, making them much easier to place out of the way of the knife, even with more complex cuts. The fork is slightly flattened, allowing parallel slices to be made closer to the tines, as well as reducing the loss of juices while carving. And while the overall length of the fork, at 11 inches (28 cm), is the same as for the equivalent classic Wusthof fork, the tines are a bit longer at about 5 inches (12 cm), permitting better handling of larger roasts. (The "6 inch" measurement in the description includes the length of both tines and neck.)My wife got me this fork for Chistmas from my wish list, and after carving Christmas dinner with it, I never want to use another carving fork again. If you know someone who regularly makes roasts - or who you would like to make roasts - get them this fork. Or get it for yourself, if you enjoy cooking. You will not regret it!

By TheSharkMMV
This Wusthof Culinar 6" meat fork does an excellent job of holding meat and poultry in place so that they can be carved. Although this fork is a little on the expensive side, I find that it is stronger and sharper than cheaper forks such as the Calphalon meat fork. Compared with similar stainless handled forks by Global and Henckels, this one has a more comfortable grip, and the two piece construction really is not a disadvantage. The Henckels felt too slippery, and I really find the Global handles to be very uncomfortable in my hand. The Culinar fork also has the right amount of heft, and the best balance of these three that I have tested.While this may be too expensive for those on a budget, I have to rate this fork five stars since it is clearly the best in its class.

Not too shabby!
By Skatie Katie
Let me tell you folks, when my late husband received this fork as a gift from one of his clients, my first thought was, "Return it and let's get the cash!". Luckily we kept it around long enugh to realize what an asset it is to our kitchen. This fork has two prongs which is perfect for any job you would want it for. Our cook, Frances, just loves it, and refuses to carve with anything else. In fact, I just bought him one for his own family for Christmas! What can I say, I know how to treat my staff!
