DESCRIPTION
Stop hacking at the Christmas ham with your chef knife. A 10-inch carving knife has one job and it does it better than anything else in the block: long, smooth pulling strokes through large proteins, leaving slices thin and even enough to fan across the plate. Roast brisket, leg of lamb, smoked turkey breast, whole poached chicken - this is the blade you reach for once the resting time is up.
The Long Blade Advantage
A carving knife earns its length at the table. The 10-inch blade lets you run the full length of a large joint in a single uninterrupted stroke, so the slice doesn't tear from the redirects you get with a shorter blade. The narrow profile reduces friction against the meat face, which matters on dense proteins like brisket where a wide blade drags. You're not fighting the cut. The knife does the work while you hold the angle steady.
73-Layer Damascus, Built for the Long Edge
The core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, vacuum heat-treated to 62 HRC. On a long carving blade, edge retention is what separates a good knife from a great one - you don't want the last slices of the roast to be worse than the first. The powder steel core holds a fine edge through a long carving session without rolling or needing a touch-up mid-table. Wrapped in 73 layers of Damascus cladding, rosewood handle, hidden tang construction that keeps the weight distribution along the length of the blade where carving work needs it.

A short chef's knife

- Wide blade drags through meat
- Ragged, uneven slices

Care & questions
How do I clean and care for it?
Hand-wash with warm soapy water and dry it straight away. Not dishwasher safe. Store it in the included wooden saya or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge.
Will the edge chip?
The 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core at 62±2 HRC holds a fine edge. Like any hard Japanese-style blade, keep it to food — avoid bone, frozen food and twisting.
Is it made in Japan?
No. It's hand-made in Yangjiang, China — the traditional Chinese city of knives — using a 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel equivalent to SG2/R2, as part of the Xinzuo × Mauro Uliassi collaboration.
What is a carving knife for?
Slicing cooked roasts, hams, poultry and large produce. The long, lean blade carves in single smooth strokes for even, neat slices.
Does it include a sheath?
Yes — a matching wooden saya is included in the gift box.
Can I have it engraved?
Yes — choose the engraving option in the buy box above before adding to cart.
