When to Use a Carving Knife:
Slicing Roasts. A carving knife is unparalleled for slicing turkey, beef, or pork roasts. Its long blade ensures you can cut through the meat in one smooth motion, producing even, thin slices that enhance the presentation and texture of your dish.
Preparing Large Fruits and Vegetables: Carving knives aren’t just for meats but also excellent for slicing large fruits and vegetables such as melons, pumpkins, and squash. The long blade makes it easier to cut through these items’ thick skin and dense flesh.
Bread and Baked Goods. While not its primary use, a carving knife can also be handy for cutting through large loaves of bread or other baked goods. The sharp blade ensures clean slices without squashing the loaf.

Care
Cleaning kitchen knives properly is essential to maintain their sharpness and prevent cross-contamination.
- Handwashing: We recommend handwashing your kitchen knives, even if they are dishwasher-safe.
- Use a gentle detergent: Clean the knives with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- One at a time: Wash one knife at a time to prevent accidental cuts. Be careful around the blade, especially if it’s sharp.
- Scrub gently: Use a sponge or soft cloth to clean the blade and handle. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the knife.
- Dry immediately: Dry the knife with a clean towel immediately to avoid mineral spots.
- Proper storage: To protect the blades and prevent accidents, store your knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a knife sheath.
- Sharpen regularly: Keep your knives sharp by regularly sharpening them with a sharpening stone or honing steel. A sharp knife is safer to use and more efficient in the kitchen. By following these steps, you can keep your kitchen knives clean, sharp, and in good condition for many years.
