Mercer Genesis 10-inch Carving Knife

A carving knife is narrower than a chef’s knife, so it slices cooked meat thin and even with less drag. The Genesis 10-inch Carving Knife has the length to carve a turkey breast, a ham or a prime rib in long, single strokes, which keeps each slice neat.

The forged blade adds steadiness, and the Santoprene handle holds securely when it is slick with juices. The pointed tip follows the breastbone and works around joints to free a leg or thigh.


Carving Set

Pair it with the Genesis 6.5-inch Carving Fork to hold the roast steady. For very thin slices of brisket or roast beef, see the Millennia 11-inch Granton Edge Slicer. The kitchen knife shapes guide compares carving and slicing knives.

    Care

    • Wash by hand after each use with warm water and a mild soap, then dry with a soft towel. Mercer advises against the dishwasher: heat can break down the handle, and caustic detergent can stain and pit the blade.
    • Do not leave the knife soaking. If chlorine or bleach touches the blade, rinse it off at once.
    • Avoid long contact with aluminum pans or a stainless steel sink, and do not leave the knife standing in condiments held in metal pans. Prolonged contact can cause pitting.
    • Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic bar or in a knife guard.
