Know before you buy
The curved shape is specifically engineered to provide better leverage and reach when holding roasts steady. It allows you to secure the meat firmly against the cutting board while providing a clear path for your carving knife to slice between the tines.
No, this fork is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel and the handle rivets, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.
The full tang means the steel extends through the entire length of the handle, which provides superior balance, strength, and durability. This design ensures the fork feels sturdy in your hand and won't snap or bend under the pressure of handling large roasts.
POM is a high-grade synthetic material known for its exceptional resistance to heat, impact, and moisture. It is much more durable than standard plastic handles and is designed to resist fading or cracking over years of regular kitchen use.
While it is optimized for carving and serving roasts, the sharp, precision-forged tines are also excellent for lifting poultry, turning large cuts of meat in a pan, or transferring cooked items from a roasting rack to a serving platter.
