F. Dick Superior 9-inch Semi-Flexible Carving Knife
Game hens, chicken and turkey carve well with this 9-inch Superior knife. It has a fair amount of flex, similar to a sole knife, so it also works as a salmon slicer and for filleting fish.The flex lets the blade follow the curve of a breastbone or a fish frame, which leaves more meat on the plate. Nine inches is long enough for a turkey breast and short enough to control at the table. The Superior handle balances the blade for thin, even slices.At home, it is a practical single carving knife for poultry and fish. The flex also helps when carving around the thigh and wing joints of a bird.For roast beef and larger roasts, the Superior 12-inch roast beef slicer is longer and stiffer. Smoked salmon slices best with the Superior 12.5-inch salmon slicer, and pair either knife with the F. Dick 7-inch straight tines fork. Learn More$32.50 -
Zwilling Pro 10-inch Carving Knife
A Thanksgiving turkey, a standing rib roast or a whole ham calls for a carving knife long enough to finish each slice in a single draw. The Zwilling Pro 10-inch carving knife provides that length on a narrow blade, which keeps drag low and slices intact.Long strokes toward you, with no sawing, give the cleanest surface on the meat. The Pro curved bolster gives a secure grip for guiding a longer knife, and the pointed tip follows the breastbone and joints when carving poultry.Steady the roast with a carving fork placed away from the line of the cut, and keep the blade level so each slice comes out the same thickness from top to bottom.For smaller roasts and chicken, the Pro 8-inch carving knife is easier to handle.

Messermeister Meridian Elite 8-inch Kullens Carving Knife
Messermeister describes its 8-inch Kullens carving knife as long, hollow-edged and ultra-smooth on the slice for presentation-worthy meats. The hollows along the blade reduce drag, so thin slices of turkey breast or roast beef fall away cleanly from the steel.At 8 inches, it is easier to control at the table than a long slicer, which makes it a comfortable carving knife for a home cook serving a roast chicken or a pork loin. The pointed tip works around the breastbone and thigh joints of a bird. Slicing against the grain with long, even strokes gives the neatest results.
Carving OptionsThe Meridian Elite 2-Piece Carving Set pairs this knife with a carving fork. For larger roasts, see the 10-inch Kullens Slicer. Learn MoreRegular Price: $139.95

Victorinox Fibrox Pro 10-inch Serrated Carving Knife
The Victorinox Fibrox Pro 10-inch serrated carving knife is used for slicing melons, filleting whole salmon and as a bread knife. It is wider and sturdier than a slicer, so it handles dense roasts, poultry and game as well as large, tough-skinned fruit.On a watermelon or a pineapple, the serrations bite through the rind and the length crosses most of the fruit. On a whole salmon, they grip the skin and let the blade travel along the frame.Use long strokes with light pressure and let the teeth do the work. The serrated edge keeps its bite for a long time, which suits a catering kitchen that cuts fruit by the case.Its width also lifts sliced fruit from the board.For a narrow serrated slicer, see the Fibrox Pro 10-inch Serrated Slicer. For a dedicated melon knife, the Victorinox 12-inch Watermelon Knife. The table in the Details compares the slicers and carvers. Learn More$58.00 -
Victorinox Fibrox Pro 9-inch Churrasco Carving Knife
Churrasco, the Brazilian style of grilling, is carved at the table straight from the skewer, and the knife for it has to slice grilled meat quickly and cleanly. The Victorinox Fibrox Pro 9-inch churrasco knife is built for that work, and it suits any grilled or barbecued cut.Use it to carve picanha from the skewer in thin slices, to slice a smoked brisket or a pork shoulder, and to portion grilled chicken. The 9-inch blade is long enough for one stroke across most grilled cuts and short enough to control at the grill.Hold the skewer upright on a board and slice down and away from the hand, letting each slice fall to the board. Keep the edge honed between cooks.For longer roasts, see the Fibrox Pro 10-inch Round Tip Slicer or the Fibrox Pro 12-inch Granton Edge Slicer. The table in the Details compares the slicers and carvers. Learn More$60.00 -
Wüsthof Classic 9-inch Hollow Edge Carving Knife
A carving knife needs a long, narrow blade that draws through a roast in one stroke. Wüsthof’s Classic 9-inch hollow edge carving knife slices a turkey breast or a prime rib into even portions at the table.The narrow, 1.2-inch blade moves cleanly between slices, and a row of hollows along the edge keeps thin slices of ham or roast beef from clinging. Wüsthof also lists it for fruit and sausage, so it handles a melon or a dry salami on a party platter.Draw the blade in long, smooth strokes and let its length do the work. Pair it with a carving fork to hold the roast steady. The knife and a fork come together in the Classic 2-piece hollow edge carving set. For crusty bread as well as roasts, see the serrated Classic 10-inch Super Slicer. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains carving and slicing knives. Learn More$169.95 -
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. Learn More$105.95 -

Mercer Genesis 6.5-inch Carving Fork
A carving fork holds the roast still so the knife can do clean work. The Genesis 6.5-inch Carving Fork anchors a turkey, a prime rib or a ham on the board, and it lifts slices to the platter afterward.It is forged from high-carbon German steel like the Genesis knives, and the Santoprene handle grips securely when greasy.

TeakHaus 24 x 18-inch Traditional Carving Board with Juice Canal
A holiday turkey, a standing rib roast or a packer brisket needs a board with room to rest the meat and a canal that holds what runs off it. The 24 x 18-inch TeakHaus Traditional Carving Board is the largest carving board in the line, with a canal on one face and a flat prep surface on the other.Carve on the canal side and the juices stay on the board for the gravy. Through the rest of the year, the flat side serves for batch prep and family-style platters. The board’s weight holds it steady while you carve, and grips cut into the ends make it possible to turn and carry.Before ordering, measure the counter and the sink. A board this size is too large for many sinks and needs a deep counter, and size is one of the reasons a TeakHaus board is returned. If space is limited, the 20 x 15-inch carving board handles most roasts.
Choosing a Carving BoardThe 20 x 15-inch Traditional Carving Board is easier to store and wash. The 24 x 18-inch Traditional Cutting Board is the same size with two flat faces. Learn More$138.00
