As with every Rosle product that I have bought, this does not disappoint, especially since it was an Amazon steal at $9 when I bought it! This fork is very solid and is one of the items that you will have in your kitchen that will literally last a lifetime. At some point someone will inherit it from you, because there is no way it’s going to end up at your estate sale! I cannot imagine picking up a piece of meat heavy enough to bend this very strong fork. It is also more than long enough to use for outdoor grilling and is very sharp. Like another Rosle product that I bought to give as a hostess gift, I kept this one too!
