What Is the Best Knife for Carving

The best knife for carving typically ranges from 8-12 inches in length with a pointed tip and long, thin blade. Carving knives with serrated edges are preferred for cutting through bone and sinew, while the straight edges are designed for greater maneuverability when stripping meat and carving out those hard-to-reach cavities. Apart from that, it might be worth considering a carving knife with a Granton edge, as the divots in the steel helps prevent suctioning. 

What is the Difference Between a Carving Knife and a Slicing Knife

A carving knife is smaller, narrower and straighter than a slicing knife. The differences in size and shape allow for more adjustability when carving smaller cuts of meats like poultry and roast. Moreover, a slicing knife is longer, more flexible and typically has a rounded tip, making it the go-to choice for cutting meat into thinner slices.
