Turkey Carving Tools: Carving Boards, Forks, Knives & Sets

F. Dick Superior 9 in. Carving Knife is the perfect length for carving Game Hens, Chicken and Turkey. It has a pretty fair amount of flex, similar to that of a sole knife. As such, this knife works very well as a salmon slicer and for filleting fish. The Superior series was designed for professional as well as domestic use. A classic design with handle rivets and the lightweight design produce a knife that is safe to use. With the Superior knife series, Friedr. Dick has succeeded in perfectly combining a modern knife in shape and functionality with a traditional handle design with three rivets. The result is a perfectly shaped classic of exceptional quality. The continuous steel from blade to handle ensures a high degree of stability. The steel consists of a X50CrMoV15 high-quality alloy. These components ensure lasting edge retention and a long life time with the appropriate toughness and high corrosion resistance. Polish honing of the knife edges with a smooth cutting edge makes them even sharper, even faster, even better. The food to be cut is cut through exactly and not “sawed” or even squashed; this means that valuable flavors remain in the cut food. Learn More

The TeakHaus End Grain Butcher Block with Juice Canal is for cooks who want a large end-grain surface for both carving and prep. It has room for a whole turkey or brisket on one side and a flat chopping surface on the other.
Features End-grain teak: The wood fibers stand upright, so the knife edge passes between them rather than across them. Teak’s high natural oil content acts as a moisture barrier. Deep juice canal: A deep channel around the carving face holds the juices from large roasts. Flat reverse side: The other face gives a full, uninterrupted area for prep work. Hand slots: Slots cut into the ends make a large, heavy board easier to lift and turn.

The TeakHaus Traditional Carving Board with Juice Canal in its largest size is for cooks who host holidays and cook big: whole turkeys, prime rib, packer briskets. It carves on one side and preps on the other, so one board covers both jobs. According to TeakHaus, America’s Test Kitchen has named the Traditional board its winning wood cutting board since 2013.
Features Edge-grain teak: Teak’s high natural oil content acts as a moisture barrier, and its medium hardness gives a cutting surface that is easy on knife edges. Juice canal: A channel on the carving side holds the juices from a large roast, so they stay on the board for serving or for the gravy. Smooth reverse side: The other face has no canal, which leaves the full surface free for chopping and prep. Hand grips: Grips cut into the ends make a large, heavy board easier to lift, turn, and bring to the table. Stable mass: The board’s weight holds it in place while you carve.
How to Use It Carve a whole turkey, ham, or prime rib and serve from the board. Slice a full packer brisket or several racks of ribs. Use the smooth side for large prep jobs and batch cooking. Lay out a family-style platter of carved meat and sides.
Choosing a Size For everyday roasts, the TeakHaus 20 x 15-inch Traditional Carving Board with Juice Canal is easier to store. If you want the same size with no canal, see the TeakHaus 24 x 18-inch Traditional Cutting Board. Learn More
