Know before you buy
The blunt points are designed to hold meat securely while carving without piercing the flesh too deeply, which helps retain juices and prevents the meat from shredding.
No, the walnut handle should be hand-washed only. Dishwasher heat and detergents can cause the wood to dry out, crack, or lose its finish over time.
The tines measure 4.25 inches in length, providing enough reach to stabilize roasts, poultry, or large cuts of meat during carving.
To keep the walnut handle in good condition, we recommend occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying out. Avoid soaking the fork in water to protect the integrity of the wood and the brass rivets.
Yes, its 8-inch size and 2-prong design make it a versatile tool for transferring large vegetables, serving pasta, or stabilizing items while slicing on a cutting board.
