Know before you buy
The curved bolster is designed to support the professional pinch grip, allowing your thumb and index finger to rest comfortably on the blade. This promotes better control, improved safety, and less fatigue during repetitive carving tasks.
The ice-hardening process enhances the molecular structure of the steel, resulting in a blade that is exceptionally corrosion-resistant and retains its sharp edge longer than standard steel blades.
Yes, the 7-inch carving fork is forged from the same high-quality steel as the knife. Its two-prong design is engineered to provide a secure, stable grip on large cuts of meat like turkey or prime rib while you slice.
The 15-degree angle provides a very sharp, precise cut, but it is thinner than traditional Western-style knives. To maintain this edge, you should use a high-quality honing steel regularly and avoid cutting on glass, stone, or ceramic surfaces.
Full tang construction means the steel extends through the entire length of the handle. This provides superior balance and structural integrity, ensuring the handle won't snap or loosen from the blade over time.
