Carving and Slicing

The Viking Carving Knife and Fork Set is designed for precise cutting, slicing, carving, and serving of various cooked meats such as roasts, turkey, fish, steak, and chicken.

1. Secure the Meat: Use the forged meat fork to firmly hold the meat in place on a stable cutting surface, such as a carving board. Ensure a secure grip to prevent the meat from shifting during carving.
2. Position the Knife: Hold the carving knife with a comfortable and firm grip. The ergonomic handle and bolster are designed to reduce hand fatigue and protect your hand.
3. Slice Evenly: Apply gentle, even pressure and use a smooth, long slicing motion to cut through the meat. For best results, slice against the grain of the meat. The sharp 15-degree cutting edge allows for effortless slicing.
4. Serve: Use the fork to assist in transferring sliced portions to a serving platter.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Viking Carving Knife and Fork Set.

• Cleaning: While the carving knife and fork are dishwasher safe, hand washing with hot water and mild detergent is recommended to maintain the blade's edge and the handle's finish. Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and corrosion.
• Storage: Store the knife and fork in a knife block, magnetic strip, or with blade guards to protect the edge and prevent accidental injury.
• Sharpening: Over time, even high-quality blades will require sharpening. Use a suitable knife sharpener or professional sharpening service to maintain the 15-degree cutting edge.
