What this knife is best for

This knife is built for the Sunday roast and other occasions where you need clean, even slices rather than sawing through crust or crumb:

• Carving roast beef, lamb, pork and gammon joints
• Slicing roast or cold chicken and turkey
• Portioning cooked ham for sandwiches or platters
• Slicing larger cooked vegetables such as squash where a long blade helps

For the bread and rolls that go alongside the roast, the Kitchen Devils Bread Knife is the right tool rather than this carving knife. For everyday veg prep before cooking, use the Kitchen Devils Cook's Knife.

How to use and care for it

1. Let meat rest before carving. A rested joint slices more cleanly and the knife needs less effort to cut through it.
2. Use one long, smooth stroke per slice rather than sawing back and forth, letting the full length of the plain edge do the work.
3. Carve on a wooden or plastic board with a groove or lip to catch juices, not directly on a serving plate.
4. Wash promptly after use, as meat fats and juices left to dry can be harder to remove.
5. Dishwasher safe, but hand washing and drying straight after carving helps keep the edge keener for longer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this carving knife and a cook's knife?

A cook's knife is built for chopping and dicing on a board with a rocking motion. This carving knife has a longer, narrower blade suited to long, even carving strokes through a cooked joint, which a shorter cook's knife cannot manage in one pass.

Does the carving knife come with a matching fork?

This listing is for the carving knife on its own. Pair it with a sturdy two-pronged carving fork to hold the joint steady while you slice.

What size joint can this carving knife handle?

The long plain edge is sized for typical family roast joints such as a leg of lamb, a rib of beef or a whole chicken or small turkey, giving enough blade length to carve in smooth, continuous slices.

Can this carving knife be sharpened?

Yes. As a plain, straight edge rather than a serrated one, it can be kept keen with a sharpening steel between uses and restored with a Kitchen Devils Rollsharp sharpener when it starts to feel dull.

Is the Kitchen Devils carving knife dishwasher safe?

Yes, it's dishwasher safe. Many cooks still prefer to hand wash and dry it straight after carving to protect the long edge over time.
