We spend a great deal of time and effort for the perfect turkey at Thanksgiving only to have someone butcher it with a serrated knife or wose yet, an electric knife.  Turkey is like any other meat, you want to slice it, not tear it.  This classic knife with its high carbon German steel stands up to that task; a perfect slice every time.  I don't use a carving knife every day so I didn't want to invest in a $$$$ knife.  Classic gives me that same awesome, forged quality and weight at a much lower cost.
