Victorinox Carving Knife 18cm Straight Blade — 6.8103.18B The longer sibling to our 15cm carving knife, this 18cm straight-bladed knife is built for genuinely large-format carving — whole turkeys, large joints of beef or lamb, and bigger roasts where a shorter blade would force you into multiple choppy strokes per slice. The extra length lets you draw the blade through in one clean, continuous motion, producing the kind of even, restaurant-quality slices that make a centrepiece roast look as good as it tastes. The straight edge and slender profile give precise control, letting the blade follow the natural contours of a roast or the shape of a large bird without dragging, tearing, or crushing the meat's structure. It's the size professional carvers and serious home cooks reach for when the occasion calls for a proper centrepiece — Christmas turkey, a large leg of lamb, a whole ham — where presentation genuinely matters. The black handle stays secure through repeated slicing strokes, and the stainless steel blade takes a fine edge that holds up well through a full carving session. Hand-washing and drying immediately after use protects both the edge and finish, keeping this knife performing beautifully for years of special occasions and Sunday roasts. Who This Knife Is For Home cooks and hosts who regularly carve large roasts, whole turkeys, or big joints of meat, and anyone assembling a complete, proper carving set for entertaining and family gatherings.

For large-format carving — whole turkeys, big joints, large roasts — the 18cm gives you the reach to slice in fewer, more even strokes. For everyday chicken and smaller cuts, the 15cm is more manageable. Does this pair with a carving fork? Yes — a matching carving fork stabilises the roast and keeps your hand safely away from the blade, and completes a proper table-carving setup. Is this suitable for use at the dinner table in front of guests? Absolutely — this is exactly the type of knife designed for confident, presentable table-side carving, producing the clean slices that make a centrepiece roast look its best. How do I maintain this for special occasions where it's used less often? Hone before use even if it's been sitting unused for a while, since edges can dull slightly even without cutting. Store it properly protected — a blade guard or knife roll — to keep the edge safe between occasional uses.
