To carve and to hold.
Thanksgiving is mostly about the food—but some points are awarded for presentation! We’re giving a 10.0 to this handsome carving set from German knife experts Messermeister. Available in either American walnut or olive wood, the set has a carving fork to steady your bird or beast while the carving knife cuts through for pristine slices.
Messermeister knives are hand sharpened and pull through sharpeners are not recommended.
