F. Dick Premier Plus 10-inch Carving Knife

Holiday turkeys and large roasts are the work for this 10-inch Premier Plus carving knife. The length produces even slices with a minimum of back-and-forth motion, which keeps each slice tidy.

A long, narrow blade lets the cook draw the knife through a breast or a rib roast in one smooth stroke. That leaves a cleaner cut face and keeps juices in the meat. The same knife carves duck, ham and whole fish and slices brisket for a crowd.

The 10-inch length also handles a whole beef tenderloin or a leg of lamb. The narrow blade reduces drag through the meat, which keeps slices from tearing. A carving fork holds the roast steady.

For smaller roasts and poultry, the Premier Plus 8-inch carving knife is easier to handle. Crusty roasts suit the Premier Plus 10-inch serrated carving knife, and the Premier Plus 7-inch kitchen fork holds the roast steady.
