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.

Global Classic Forged 8.5-inch Carving Knife
Carving a turkey, a holiday ham or a standing rib roast at the table goes better with a blade thinner than a chef’s knife and long enough to slice in one stroke. The GF-37 is the carving knife in Global’s Classic Forged line, with a 22 cm blade and the extra weight of a forged knife to keep it steady through dense, cooked meat.The narrow blade produces even slices with less tearing than a wide knife, and the length means fewer back-and-forth strokes, which keeps the slices neat and the juices in the meat. The pointed tip follows the breastbone of a turkey and works around the hip joint to free the thigh. It slices cooked meat off the bone, but it is not meant to cut through bone.
Carving Knife or Slicer?The GF-37 suits cooked roasts and poultry. For raw fish and very thin slices, a longer, lighter blade such as the Global Classic 10-inch Sujihiki does finer work. Our guide to carving, slicing and other knife shapes explains the differences. Learn More$179.95 -

Robert Welch Signature 9 in. Carving Knife
Master the Art of the Perfect Slice with Award-Winning Ergonomics The Robert Welch Signature 9-inch Carving Knife is more than a kitchen tool; it is a precision instrument designed to move through proteins with zero resistance. When you first grip the handle, the tactile feedback is immediate. Developed in consultation with professional chefs, the ergonomic handle features a unique bolster that provides a secure thumb rest and a comfortable finger guard, ensuring your hand doesn't fatigue during high-volume slicing tasks. The 9-inch blade is forged from high-quality X50CrMoV15 German stainless steel, hardened to 55-56 HRC. This specific hardness provides the ideal balance between extreme sharpness and the toughness needed to avoid chipping when navigating around poultry bones or dense holiday roasts. During testing, the long, thin profile of the blade allowed for long, sweeping strokes that produce uniform, restaurant-quality slices without the jagged 'sawing' effect common with shorter, duller blades. Whether you are carving a delicate smoked salmon fillet or a heavy prime rib, the weight distribution of this knife remains centered in the palm. The blade is ground at a precise 15° angle, offering a level of sharpness that rivals Japanese cutlery while maintaining the robustness of European steel. This is the definitive tool for the host who values presentation and the chef who demands technical reliability. Learn More$70.95 -
