Carving Kitchen Knife

Carving knife is often longer than a chef's knife, but far narrower, and without the chef's knife's customary curve.

It is used primarily, as the name suggests, for carving meat, particularly roasts. The shape of the straight blade makes it easier to create precise, thin slices of meat, even when slicing at the table.

A carving knife produces minimal friction on the meat, allowing you to cut easily and cleanly against the grain.
