carving knife

Turkey dinner essential

A carving knife is a long, thin-bladed knife designed for slicing cooked meat, poultry, or fish into thin, even portions.

The blade is typically narrower and more flexible than a chef's knife, allowing for precise cuts around bones and joints.

Carving knives are often sold in sets with a matching fork that holds the meat steady during slicing.
