carving set

Roast cutting utensils

A carving set is a matched knife and fork designed for slicing and serving roasted meat at the table.

The knife has a long, thin blade; the fork has two long tines to steady the roast while carving.

Sets often include a sharpening steel and come in presentation boxes: We only use the carving set at Thanksgiving.
