Kai Shun Premier Carving Fork

The Shun Premier Straight Carving Fork easily holds food in place while slicing or carving and even assists in serving. In a way, the carving fork acts as an extension of your arm, holding the meat in place as a slicing or carving knife glides through the food. The tines are long enough to penetrate roasts with ease in order to anchor them to the cutting board as you slice. The length also ensures your hand stays safely away from the blade. The Shun Premier Carving Fork is made of stainless steel and shares its beautiful walnut PakkaWood handle with the rest of the Shun Premier line.
The Shun Premier line calls to mind as the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX "super steel" to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed, similar to samurai swords using a traditional clay-baking technique. The hammered tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities to reduce drag. The handles nestle comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and beauty. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty.
