Victorinox Hardwood 6-inch Straight Tine Fork

The Victorinox Hardwood straight tine fork is best used to hold meat while cutting. Its 6-inch straight tines go deep into a roast or a turkey breast and hold it steady, so each slice comes off clean and even.

The handle is from the line Victorinox sold for many years as Rosewood and now calls Victorinox Hardwood. It is modified maple in the traditional rosewood color, a natural match for the Hardwood slicers and carving knives.

Set the fork well away from the line of the knife and press it firmly into the meat. Straight tines also lift a whole roast from the pan to the board.

Pair it with the Hardwood 10-inch Granton Edge Slicer or the Hardwood 12-inch Wide Granton Edge Slicer. For flat tines that slide under a roast, see the Victorinox 10.5-inch Flat Carving Fork. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide covers carving knives.
