Title: Shoddy Workmanship
Review: Just got the fork, and it looked good at first. Sturdy. Stainless steel. The design is good. Not much curvature in the tines, but usable. Then I noticed that the tines were not sharp, even a little. I looked closer at the tines. The tips had been ground off flat with an electric grinder. There were heat discolorations at the tips from the rough grinding operation. It's not usable as received. It would be like trying to pierce meat with a flat punch or a screw driver.The tines are different sizes. One is larger than the other: an eighth of an inch longer and about a sixteenth of an inch wider. The outside surfaces are polished, but the inside surfaces of the tines are rough, as though from casting. The roughness and the flat tips would tear the meat, not penetrate smoothly.This shows very bad QC. Not what I expected from All-Clad, even if it is made in China. I may just use a file and a stone on it to make it usable. Or maybe just send it back. Probably the latter.
