Carving suffers most from suction — a hot slice of beef will cling to a flat blade and tear as you lift it. The Duo-Edge ovals along this 12-inch blade break that contact, and the straight edge means each stroke is a single clean pass rather than a saw.
This is a carving knife for roasts and joints: prime rib, leg of lamb, whole turkey breast, brisket. Twelve inches is enough to cross a large roast in one pull, which is what keeps slices even and intact.
Dexter-Russell has manufactured cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818. Its V-LO line pairs those blades with a soft-grip handle.
