Know before you buy
The narrow, sharp prongs are designed to pierce and hold roasts or poultry securely in place while you carve. This stability allows you to make clean, precise slices without the meat sliding around on the cutting board.
The double bolster adds weight to the center of the tool, providing professional-grade balance and heft. This makes the fork feel substantial in your hand and helps it remain steady during heavy-duty carving tasks.
Yes, the handle is made from a resilient synthetic material that is designed to withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen. It is triple-riveted to the full tang, ensuring it stays secure and durable over years of use.
Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) ensures the prongs are sharpened to a precise angle for maximum sharpness. While typically associated with knives, this process ensures the prongs on this fork are exceptionally sharp and resistant to dulling over time.
While the high-carbon stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, we recommend hand-washing the fork with mild soap and drying it immediately. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle and dull the sharp prongs.
