F. Dick 1905 8-inch Carving Fork

A carving fork holds a roast still while the knife does its work, and this 8-inch 1905 fork is made for prime rib, whole turkeys and hams. The forged fork does not flex when it is pushed into a large roast.

Rigid tines keep the meat from shifting, so slices come off evenly and the knife stays on line. The long tines reach deep into a roast for a secure hold, and the handle matches the ringed 1905 knives. It also lifts and turns roasts in the pan and transfers carved slices to the platter.

The fork also tests roasts and braises for tenderness, since the tines slide in easily when the meat is done. It is a useful tool to keep beside the stove as well as on the carving board, and it matches the 1905 knives on a counter.

Pair it with the 1905 8-inch carving knife for roasts and poultry, or the 1905 serrated carving knife for crusty roasts and ham. For a modern-handle fork, see the Premier Plus 7-inch kitchen fork.
