Messermeister Oliva Elite 2-Piece Kullens Carving Set

Messermeister notes that carving knives are made for slicing larger roasts and poultry. Its carving fork holds the meat steady for control and safety. This Oliva Elite set pairs the 8-inch Kullens carving knife with a 6-inch, two-prong carving fork, the tools for serving a turkey or a prime rib at the table.

Set the fork into the roast near the bone, then draw the knife in long, even strokes across the grain. The kullens hollows keep thin slices from clinging, so each one lands neatly on the platter. With matching olive wood handles, the pair looks right on a holiday table, and gift buyers choose it for weddings and anniversaries.

Care

Messermeister knives are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry immediately, and clean the blade right away after cutting acidic or salty foods. Messermeister recommends a light coat of food-safe mineral oil or wood cream on the olive wood handle every few weeks.
