The Shun Classic 2 Piece Carving set is beautifully presented in a gift box. Each set contains a Shun Classic Carving Knife 20cm and the Shun Classic Carving Fork 16cm. Achieve the perfect slice of meat or poultry with the Shun Classic 20cm Carving Knife. It’s the right knife whether you want to carve paper-thin or thick and juicy slices. The razor-sharp blade makes a cleaner cut, which helps keep more of the juices—and more of the flavour—trapped in the meat. The longer blade means you can make precise slices with a single stroke, while the pointed, narrow tip lets you cut meat away from the bone with ease. Turkey, beef, or the delicate flesh of a salmon—the Shun Classic Carving knife handles them with ease, keeping the flavour sealed in and making sure your tableside presentation is perfection itself. The two-pronged fork easily holds food in place while slicing or carving and assists in serving, too. The Shun Classic Carving Fork acts as an extension of the carver’s arm, holding the meat in place while your Shun Slicing or Carving Knife glides through, making beautiful slices.
