With what do you carve...?

[GrumpyGregry]

after years of using an electric carving knife I've finally MTFU and started using a proper carving knife and fork. Quick whizz thru a Chantry Knife Sharpener and the Richardsons carving knife gives me wafer thin cuts.

What do you use...?

Sabatier knives and a steel... given to us by Mrs A_T's dad when we got married 29 years ago.

Wot they said ^. The fork's seen better days, with various nicks and bends in the tines. The knife is dead good though. For best carving results I invite my parents for dinner and get Dad to do it.

Lecky knife. Why fart around with anything else?

I was in my favourite shop the other day and they had a couple of Japanese knives in Damascus steel with carving on the blade. I held one in my hand dreaming, this is a knife you could shave with, it was 245 C$ so I gave it back. A thing of beauty.

All my knives are blunt but the sound of knife on steel goes through me so badly (like finger nails on a blackboard for some people) that they have to stay that way.

Kyocera best quality ceramic knives. Frighteningly sharp and they don't need sharpening.

Currently a kitchen devil one - plastic handle, cheap as chips, ridiculously sharp and the best one I've ever used. It's got a bread knife blade on the other side.

They don't have to be expensive, as long as the blade will hold a good edge. Learning how to give a blade a good edge is more important than the knife itself. I have a £10 pocket knife which I can shave my arms with!

I just pull chunks of meat off inexpertly, and nobody's ever complained

Sabatier knives and a steel...

Same here, though I don't often have a need to use it.
