10" Carving Knife - Retro Series (PM8S)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.68 Stars (63 reviews)

A 10-inch carving blade built for one job: long, clean slices through large roasts in a single stroke. The Retro Series pairs a slim 3-layer composite Damascus blade with a stone-washed retro-blackened finish and a traditional octagonal wa-handle in red wood and black buffalo horn. Where a chef knife stops short and tears, this length carries the cut edge to edge, ground to 15 degrees per side for thin, even slices of brisket, ham and holiday turkey.

3-Layer Composite Damascus

Octagonal Wa-Handle

Red Wood + Buffalo Horn

This is the knife you bring to the table. Designed for perfect, show-stopping presentation, this 10-inch carving knife glides through large roasts, briskets, and holiday turkeys in one single, smooth stroke. Stop sawing at your beautiful roast; this is how you get clean, effortless, wafer-thin slices every time.

High-Performance Steel

The blade's secret is its 3-layer composite steel. At its core is a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel, vacuum heat-treated to 60±2 HRC. This hard-cutting core takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it, giving you precise, clean cuts long after other knives have gone dull. The outer layers of softer steel add durability and corrosion resistance.

Classic Feel, Total Control

A "Retro" knife is all about the feel. The stunning, octagonal handle is crafted from a classic combination of deep red wood and genuine black buffalo horn. This traditional shape is not just for looks—it provides an incredibly comfortable, secure grip, giving you confident and precise control over every single pass.

RETRO SERIES · PM8S

The 10-Inch Carver That Finishes the Slice

The Retro Series is built around one idea: a blade long enough to slice a whole roast in a single pull. At 10 inches the edge runs the full width of a brisket or holiday turkey, so each slice comes off clean instead of sawing back and forth. The blade is 3-layer 10Cr15CoMoV composite steel with SuS410 Damascus-patterned cladding, hardened to 60±2 HRC under vacuum heat treatment, and finished in a stone-washed retro-blackened texture that hides wear and reads vintage. This is the knife you reach for when the chef knife runs out of edge.

WHY A DEDICATED CARVER

Long, Thin Slices In One Stroke

A chef knife is short and tall, built for chopping on a board. A carving knife is long and slim, built to glide. The 10-inch blade lets you draw the full length through a roast in one pull, so the slice releases clean rather than tearing. The narrow 3.2cm blade height and slim profile reduce drag through dense meat, and the 15-degree-per-side edge keeps slices thin and even. At 167g it stays light enough for repeated slicing without fatigue.

BLADE & STEEL

3-Layer Composite Damascus, 60±2 HRC

The blade is 3-layer composite construction: a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core jacketed in SuS410 Damascus-patterned stainless cladding. Vacuum heat treatment brings the core to 60±2 HRC, hard enough to hold a fine slicing edge through long carving sessions while staying stainless and easy to live with. The finish is stone-washed and sandblasted to a retro-blackened frosted texture that masks marks and gives the blade its vintage look. Ground to 15 degrees per side, 30 degrees inclusive.

HANDLE & FEEL

Octagonal Wa-Handle, Red Wood And Buffalo Horn

The handle is a traditional Japanese octagonal wa-shape in red wood with a black buffalo horn bolster. The eight flats index naturally in the hand, so you always know where the edge is mid-slice without looking. Over a slim 167g blade the balance sits forward into the cut, giving you control for long, controlled draws. Total length 42.5cm. Hand wash only.

FAQs

What is this carving knife best for?

Slicing large proteins. The 10-inch blade is long enough to carry a single stroke through a whole brisket, ham, roast or holiday turkey, releasing thin, even slices.

How is a carving knife different from a chef knife?

A chef knife is shorter and taller, built for chopping on a board. This carver is long and slim so it glides through large cuts in one draw instead of sawing back and forth and tearing the slice.

Is the blade real Damascus?

Yes. It is 3-layer composite construction with a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core and SuS410 Damascus-patterned stainless cladding on the outer layers.

How hard is the blade?

The core is vacuum heat treated to 60±2 HRC, hard enough to hold a fine slicing edge through long carving sessions while remaining stainless and easy to maintain.

What is the handle made of?

A traditional octagonal Japanese wa-handle in red wood with a black buffalo horn bolster. The eight flats let you index the edge in hand mid-slice.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. Hand wash and dry the knife. It is not dishwasher safe, and dishwasher damage is excluded from the warranty.

What edge angle is it sharpened to?

15 degrees per side, 30 degrees inclusive, for thin and even slices.

Honestly very impressed with the quality of the knife , as a chef who is very fussy with his knife selection I gotta say its 100% worth picking one up

Versatile addition to our kitchen. Love using it on vegies and fruit. Top quality as expected :-)

I purchased a paring knife and a chef's knife. Great. Japanese knives, bought for their Japanese quality. The knives arrived promptly in the mail. I opened the package and the first thing I read on the box, was that the knives were in was 'Made in China'. That was so dissapointing. I specifically searched the web for Japanese knives. Are all of the knives listed on your website made in China? Transparency is key, so that customers know what they are buying.

Absolutely sensational knives and craftsmanship is on point these knives are super sharp and glide through stuff effortlessly nice comfy Handle also

Bought this for my partners birthday along with engravings for each knife. First impression; the packaging is gorgeous. Both boxes are so beautiful and we've kept them aside. The knives are also stunning. The scissors are some of the coolest I've ever seen - better for smaller hands though. My partner find them a little awkward to hold. Love the bottomless design of the knife block too, the knives aren't snug in there and do rattle around though.
Knives came spine shuttering sharp. I mean it. Be so careful with these bad boys. They have care instructions too which is perfect ! Very light. Very easy to hold and move around. The made in china print being on the handle was something we did knit pick about a little bit as the font and design looks a little strange on such a gorgeous set, but it's ok.
All in all - very pleased. This is a stunning set designed with love. Thankyou so much !
