Know before you buy
This knife is specifically designed for carving large proteins. Its long, straight edge is ideal for creating clean, uniform slices of turkey, roast beef, ham, and other large roasts without tearing the meat.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To protect the integrity of the stabilized walnut handle and maintain the sharpness of the high-carbon steel blade, you should always hand wash and dry it immediately after use.
The full tang design means the metal of the blade extends through the entire length of the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and durability, ensuring the knife feels stable and secure in your hand while carving.
The handle is made from stabilized walnut, which is more resistant to moisture than untreated wood. While it doesn't require regular oiling like traditional wood handles, you should avoid soaking it in water to keep the wood and brass rivets in top condition.
The integrated bolster provides a smooth transition between the handle and the blade. This design supports both a traditional handle grip and a 'pinch grip,' giving you better control and comfort during precise slicing tasks.
Lamson offers a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Additionally, they provide a sharpening program to help you maintain the blade's factory-level edge throughout the life of the knife.
