Why Do I Need a Carving Knife
A Carving Knife has a long and narrow blade that tapers to a sharp point. It’s used mainly for carving poultry or bone-in roasts, like a leg of lamb or a ham.
If you want to impress your family or your guests while you are serving your famous Thanksgiving turkey during the holidays, a long Carving Knife set will make a great impression.
The blade of a Carving Knife is mostly made from stainless steel or carbon steel, this is definitely a knife where you need to feel as comfortable as possible wielding it. The bolster should be comfortable for your grip, the balance should feel symmetric in your hand, and the length should be sufficient for the cuts you want.
A 10″ or 12″ Carving Knife will do the job easy. Especially when you are used to have big roast or ham.
Carving Knife and Fork
A carving Knife without a fork is like a Christmas tree without decoration.
Carving forks are used to hold foods securely in place as well as keeping hands away from the sharp blades of the knives as food is being prepared. Longer tines will allow the fork to go deeper into the food so the larger pieces of meat can be kept stable as they are carved.
