Loading... Please wait...Carving Knives are long, thin knives that are good for slicing through meats, fruits and vegetables. Some professionals also use these knives as general purpose knives in place of a Chef's knife because the blade tends to be thinner and offers less resistance and wedging when cutting through food. Most carving knives have a 50/50 bevel but some Japanese versions of these knives called Sujihikis will be sharpened primarily on one side for added sharpness.
