About this item
- CARVING KNIFE SET - Avanta knives were developed for one of the leading culinary schools in North America. This set was designed with uncompromising attention to detail, featuring rounded, triple-rivet pakkawood handles for comfort and durability.
- BLADE WITH A PURPOSE - Smooth, fine edges are given a kullenschliff edge by grinding slightly oval depressions in a row along the side of the blade, just above the edge. This type of edge allows a thinner, more precise cut.
- WHAT’S INCLUDED - Includes an 8” double-bolstered, pointed carving & slicing knife, plus a full 7” heavy-weight bolstered fork. The sturdy fork holds the meat securely in place & is used to easily transfer carved meat from a serving plate.
- HIGH QUALITY - Our blades are crafted from German X50 stainless steel for knives that are sharp, rust resistant, and easy to maintain. Plus, the solid bolsters and full tang construction give the knives great balance & heft.
- OUR STORY - Founded in 1981, Messermeister is a leading manufacturer of premium handcrafted kitchen cutlery. Today, we’re a family and women-owned company, continuing to bring innovation & creativity to kitchens around the world.

2 1/2yr update. Changed from 4 to 5 stars.
I don't know what I was thinking back then. :-) Natural wood will expand and contract due to temperature and humidity changes. I already knew that, but at that time, I was doing an "out of the box" review and impression and likely focused too much on every fine detail at that particular moment.
I did notice the difference for a few weeks after that, but the handles must have "normalized" because I completely forgot about it and they've felt just as smooth and silky as my steak knife set. I just checked them before updating this review and, yep, Perfection!
--- Original Review
I purchased this set simply because I love my Avanta Pakkawood steak knives so much I wanted a matching set. Much of what has been said so far is true so I won't repeat it. They have a great balance and heft typical of Messemeister and I am quite pleased with their performace. The blade and fork themselves are excellent, however, for those that are familiar with Messemeister's usual attention to overall quailty, you might be a tad disappointed.
I deducted one star for the handles. While the tang and pakkawood are beautifully smooth and flush on my steak knives, the pakkawood on both the knife and fork are uniformily just a touch narrower than the tang. There is a slight ridge top and bottom along the full length of the handle that can certainly be felt. It's not a deal breaker, but it lacks that silky smooth feeling in your palm that I love so much about my steak knives that just oozes "quality".
For the price, I certainly can't complain. I'm an outdoorsman that processes all of my own meats and seafoods. I "know" a good knive and the Messermeister's are certainly an excellent bargain for the quality that you get. I'm definately keeping this set, but measured against their own Avanta steak knives, the Avanta carving set just ever so slightly doesn't quite measure up.
We realized almost too late that we didn’t have a turkey carving set to serve dinner this year. Thanks to Amazon, we got it on time, and it was ready to go right out of the box- no sharpening needed!
I would suggest to the manufacturer that this set should be packed in a protective box or reusable sheaths to protect them in the future, but for the price I paid for this set (and more importantly what I SAVED), I can definitely afford to get a knife block instead.
My family was impressed by the gorgeous handles, and how clean the turkey sliced! Definitely a worthy investment, we’ll be using this set for years to come!
The blade is made with food service steel. Very stain resistant but not really hard. Some have critiqued this harshly but that is really unfair. X50CrMoV15 steel is the best steel available in a knife at this price point. To get a better steel you would be looking at a set that costs over $100. The biggest problem is the product description over sells it. It's not "the highest quality German steel". Expect to sharpen it every two or three uses.
My only real disappointment with the set is it comes in a retail (Hang on a shelf) package without any sort of case. For most knives at this price point that would be appropriate. But, a carving set is only used very occasionally in most circumstances. Unless it came in a block most of us shelf it somewhere until the need for the set arises. A minimal case or sleeve would be nice. Even if it made the set a little more expensive.
The steel is German but the knife is Chinese made.
The only thing that's a bit of a killer is storage. We aren't quite sure how we should store it long term. Right now it's rolled up in a placemat a bound with a rubberband - not impressive.
