The Best Carving Knives for Cutting Turkey, Chicken and More
Click here to read the full article.
There’s a knife for cutting pretty much every type of food. And for good reason—the blade you use to slice vegetables won’t work as well on the Thanksgiving day turkey. For that, you’ll need a carving knife.
Carving knives are distinct from their chef’s knife brethren in their shape. They have a much more narrow blade and come to a pointed tip, a structure that helps them cut hunks of meat into thin slices. If they were wider, then the carving would generate too much drag, making it harder to cut uniform portions. Carving knives are also longer so that they can cut a large piece of meat all at once without having to be sawed back and forth.

Some may be longer and better suited for larger cuts, while others come with matching carving forks to keep the meat in place while slicing. No matter what your preference (or what you’re cutting), here are four you should consider.
