The vertical orientation displays knives side-by-side rather than at angles, making it easier to identify and select the knife you need. The trade-off is that it requires more vertical space (360mm height) than some traditional blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill the oak block damage my worktop?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo - the block includes silicone feet specifically designed to protect worktop surfaces.

The six knives cover fundamental tasks from detailed paring work through to carving large joints.

Due to this special treatment, every blade has its own unique flower pattern in the shape of the Damask rose. The traditional Japanese Honbazuke method of sharpening has been used to make the blade razor-sharp. This means that the knife reaches its ultimate sharpness in three sharpening phases. First, the blade is flattened horizontally and ground on a rotating sharpening stone. This is followed by a vertical sharpening phase on the same stone, followed by the polishing phase, where the knife is given the finishing touches with a leather strop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMasur birch wood handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D-shaped handle is made from Masur birch wood.

This sharper edge allows you to cut finer, more precise slices with less effort, particularly important when carving meat where presentation matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eShould I choose the 23cm or 20cm carving knife?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 23cm (9\") blade is ideal for larger joints like turkey, leg of lamb, or beef roasts where the longer blade enables you to cut complete slices in a single stroke. The 20cm version works better for smaller joints and poultry. Consider what you carve most frequently—the longer blade provides more versatility for larger cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does 'fully forged' mean and why does it matter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully forged means the blade is made from a single piece of steel heated and shaped through forging, rather than cut from a sheet. This process creates a stronger, better balanced knife with superior durability. The full tang (steel running through the entire handle) adds further strength and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I keep the blade sharp?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rockwell 56 hardness means the blade holds its edge well. Use a honing steel regularly to maintain the edge between sharpenings. When the blade needs proper sharpening, use a whetstone or take it to a professional knife sharpener. Always hand wash and dry immediately after use to maintain the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this knife for everyday cutting tasks?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife is specifically designed for carving—slicing cooked meat, poultry, and fish. The long, curved blade excels at this task but isn't ideal for chopping vegetables or general prep work. Use a chef's knife for everyday tasks and reserve this for its intended carving purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this knife dishwasher safe?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the stainless steel can technically withstand dishwashers, hand washing is strongly recommended. Dishwasher detergents and high temperatures can dull the blade over time and affect the handle. Rinse after use, wash in warm soapy water with a microfibre cloth, dry immediately, and avoid soaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat We've Learned About Carving Knives Since 1972\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter five decades of helping customers choose kitchen knives, we've observed that many home cooks overlook the importance of a proper carving knife. They attempt to carve with chef's knives or bread knives, resulting in torn meat and uneven slices that affect both presentation and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long, curved blade of a proper carving knife like this Robert Welch Signature makes a significant difference. The length allows you to cut complete slices in a single, smooth stroke—essential for maintaining the meat's texture and creating professional-looking portions. The 15° Japanese-style edge provides the precision needed for thin, even slices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've also noticed that customers who invest in quality carving knives and maintain them properly (hand washing, regular honing) tend to enjoy carving rather than viewing it as a chore.

Rinse the knife to remove all traces of food as soon as possible after use. Wash in warm soapy water with a microfibre cloth or non-abrasive brush. Avoid soaking.

A honing steel realigns the blade edge rather than removing metal. When the knife needs actual sharpening (you'll notice it requires more pressure to cut), use a whetstone or take it to a professional sharpener who can maintain the 15° angle. Proper maintenance means the knife should need sharpening only 2-3 times per year with home use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Periodically apply food-safe mineral oil to the handle to maintain its colour and appearance. Apply a small amount, work it in, and remove any excess with a clean cloth. This is particularly important if you notice the handle beginning to look dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuring use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the carving knife on a wooden or plastic cutting board—never glass, marble, or ceramic surfaces which will dull the blade rapidly. Let roasted meat rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow juices to redistribute. Use long, smooth strokes rather than sawing motions to cut clean slices. The curved blade is designed to rock gently through the meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a drawer with blade guards.

The Lion Sabatier uses N4116 Nitro+ French steel at HRC 58, providing easier sharpening and full tang construction with lifetime warranty. The Grunwerg represents Japanese craftsmanship with premium VG-10 steel and olive wood handles in a gift box. Lion Sabatier offers French heritage dating to 1812 with POM handles and brass rivets. Both are excellent—Grunwerg suits those seeking Damascus aesthetics and Japanese steel, Lion Sabatier suits those preferring French tradition and easier maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs VG-10 Damascus steel difficult to sharpen?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVG-10 steel at HRC 60-63 is harder than typical Western knives, meaning it holds an edge longer but requires proper sharpening technique. Regular honing with a steel maintains the edge between sharpenings. When sharpening is needed, use a quality whetstone (1000-6000 grit) rather than pull-through sharpeners which can damage Damascus layers. The harder steel takes slightly longer to sharpen than softer steels, but the trade-off is significantly extended time between sharpenings—many customers sharpen annually or less with regular honing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy is this significantly less expensive than the Lion Sabatier set?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grunwerg offers excellent value through efficient manufacturing whilst maintaining quality materials like VG-10 Damascus steel. The Lion Sabatier commands premium pricing due to French heritage dating to 1812, Made in France production, lifetime warranty, and the Sabatier brand's established reputation in professional kitchens. Both sets use quality steel and construction—the price difference reflects brand heritage, manufacturing location, and warranty length rather than fundamental quality differences in cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill the olive wood handles withstand regular use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlive wood is naturally dense, hard-wearing, and resistant to moisture when properly cared for. With hand washing and immediate drying after each use, the handles will maintain their appearance and integrity for years. Never soak or put in the dishwasher, as prolonged water exposure can cause wood to swell, crack, or loosen from the tang. The opal effect ring adds decorative appeal without compromising durability. Many customers use olive wood handled knives for decades with proper care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does the Damascus pattern actually do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Damascus pattern results from the 67 layers of steel forged together, creating the distinctive wavy appearance. Functionally, the layered construction can provide slight flexibility whilst maintaining hardness, though the primary benefit of Damascus is the VG-10 core steel's exceptional edge retention and toughness. The visible pattern serves aesthetic purposes, making each knife visually distinctive. The pattern won't wear away—it's integral to the blade structure throughout its thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnderstanding VG-10 Damascus Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our 52 years helping customers select quality knives, we've observed increasing interest in Japanese steel compositions like VG-10, and it's worth understanding what makes this material distinct from Western knife steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVG-10 is a high-carbon stainless steel developed in Japan specifically for knife making. The \"V\" stands for \"V Gold\" (a quality designation), whilst the \"10\" indicates it's the 10th variation in the series. The high carbon content (approximately 1% carbon) combined with chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium creates steel that achieves exceptional hardness (HRC 60-63 in this set) whilst maintaining good corrosion resistance. This hardness allows the blade to hold an extremely sharp edge significantly longer than softer Western steels typically hardened to HRC 54-58.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Damascus cladding—the 67 layers visible on the blade—surrounds the VG-10 core steel. This layered construction creates the distinctive wavy pattern through differential etching of the various steel layers, each with slightly different compositions. Beyond aesthetics, the Damascus construction can provide subtle benefits in flexibility and edge geometry, though the primary advantage of this knife lies in the VG-10 core's performance characteristics. The harder steel requires more careful sharpening technique than Western knives, but rewards that attention with edge retention that many customers find remarkable—particularly valuable for carving where maintaining sharpness through extended use matters considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCarving Knife\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67-layer VG-10 Damascus steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e HRC 60-63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive wood with opal effect ring\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chestnut-shaped for comfortable grip\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCarving Fork\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG-10 Damascus steel construction\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive wood with opal effect ring\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chestnut-shaped matching knife design\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGeneral Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grunwerg\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Katana Saya\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pieces (knife and fork)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality Japanese VG-10 with high carbon content\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Layers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67 layers creating Damascus pattern\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG-10\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant layered Damascus visible on blade\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wooden gift box included\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash only, not dishwasher safe\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep in safe place out of reach of children\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires high-quality diamond sharpener or whetstone\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"care\" class=\"care-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all packaging.

Insert the fork into the roast to anchor it, then use the knife to cut thin, even slices. The exceptional sharpness of VG-10 Damascus steel allows clean slicing without tearing meat fibres. Use appropriate cutting surfaces—wood or quality plastic boards that won't damage the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily care - critical:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash immediately after each use with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Never put in the dishwasher—the harsh detergents, high heat, and water pressure will damage both the Damascus blade finish and the olive wood handles. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a clean tea towel. Pay particular attention to drying around the handle junction where water can collect. Never leave to air dry, as this can damage olive wood and potentially cause rust spots on the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintaining sharpness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Before each use, run the blade along a honing steel 3-4 times per side at approximately 15 degrees. This realigns the edge between proper sharpenings. When the knife no longer responds well to steeling (typically after several months to a year depending on use frequency), it needs proper sharpening. Use a whetstone with progression from 1000 to 3000 to 6000 grit for best results. VG-10 steel at HRC 60-63 requires patience when sharpening—work systematically through the grits, maintaining consistent angle. Alternatively, use a professional knife sharpening service experienced with Japanese steels. Avoid pull-through sharpeners which can damage the Damascus layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle care:\u003c\/strong\u003e The olive wood handles require no special treatment beyond keeping them dry. Never soak the knives or leave them standing in water. If the wood appears dry over time, you may apply a thin film of food-safe mineral oil, allow it to penetrate for a few hours, then wipe away excess. This is optional—the dense olive wood is naturally moisture-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoiding damage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never cut on ceramic, glass, stone, or metal surfaces which will damage the edge. Don't use the knife for prying, twisting, or cutting through bones. Avoid cutting frozen foods which can chip even hardened steel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a drawer with blade guards. Never store loose with other utensils where blades can knock against each other or other items. Keep out of reach of children.

Use 1000, 3000, and 6000 grit whetstones in progression, maintaining approximately 15 degrees per side. Work patiently—the hard steel removes slowly. If you're uncertain about technique or lack the proper whetstones, professional sharpening services experienced with Japanese steels will deliver excellent results.

This allows juices to redistribute, resulting in moister slices. Use the carving fork to steady the meat, positioning it away from where you'll be cutting. Make smooth, confident slicing motions with the carving knife, letting the sharp blade do the work rather than applying excessive pressure. The Yatagan blade profile's upswept tip makes it easier to follow the contours of bones and joints. For poultry, use the fork to hold the bird steady whilst you separate legs and wings at the joints, then slice breast meat against the grain for maximum tenderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Blade: N4116 Nitro+ Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe carving knife features an 18.6cm blade crafted from French N4116 Nitro+ stainless steel, a premium steel specifically chosen for its balance of performance characteristics. This steel type offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it truly stainless and low-maintenance, whilst being easier to sharpen than many harder steels. The 58 HRC hardness represents the sweet spot—hard enough to hold a keen edge through extended use, yet not so hard that it becomes difficult to sharpen at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from a single piece of steel that extends completely into the handle—known as full tang construction. This provides several benefits: perfect balance between blade and handle, superior strength and durability, better control during carving, and the assurance that the blade cannot separate from the handle. The extended bolster (the thick junction between blade and handle) runs to the heel of the blade, protecting your fingers and providing a safe, secure grip point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade features a smooth edge sharpened to a secondary V-edge at 13 degrees per side (26 degrees total angle), which is ideal for slicing through cooked meats with minimal resistance. The satin finish on the blade reduces glare and maintains the traditional, professional aesthetic whilst being practical and easy to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Handle: POM with Brass Rivets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handles are crafted from POM (polyoxymethylene), a durable and maintenance-friendly polymer that offers significant advantages over traditional materials. POM is highly resistant to moisture, won't crack or warp like wood, requires no special oiling or treatment, and provides excellent grip even when hands are slightly damp. Despite being a modern material, the POM handles have been designed to fit seamlessly with the traditional bolster and overall aesthetic—you get the look of heritage with the convenience of modern materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handles are secured with brass rivets, which serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. The brass provides visual warmth and elegance whilst securely attaching the handle scales to the full tang. This combination of POM and brass riveting creates a handle that's both beautiful and bombproof—it will look good and perform reliably for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10cm handle length provides ample space for a comfortable grip whilst maintaining the slim, elegant profile characteristic of French knife design. The symmetrical handle design makes the set suitable for both right and left-handed users, accommodating the traditional Western grip used for carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-box\" id=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSet Contents:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarving Knife:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20cm Yatagan style\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeat Fork:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCarving Knife Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lion Sabatier\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Idéal\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticle Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SA893280\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.6cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252g\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e N4116 Nitro+ (French stainless steel)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58 HRC\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e POM (Polyoxymethylene)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRivet Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full tang\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plain edge (smooth)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13° per side (26° total)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Grind:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secondary V-edge\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, Yatagan profile\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right and left-handed (symmetrical)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Western grip\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Technically yes, but strongly not recommended\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngraving Available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Design dating back to 1812\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifetime warranty on materials and manufacturing defects\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-box\" id=\"care\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove all packaging and any protective covers from the blade. Wash both the knife and fork in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately with a clean towel. This removes any manufacturing residue or protective oils. The knife should arrive reasonably sharp but may benefit from light honing on a steel before first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing your carving set:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always allow roasted meats to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving—this redistributes juices and makes carving easier. Use the meat fork to steady the roast, positioning the tines securely into the meat away from where you'll be cutting. Hold the carving knife with a comfortable but firm grip, and make smooth, confident slicing motions. Let the sharp blade do the work—excessive sawing or pressure is unnecessary with a properly maintained edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarving technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e For roast joints, slice across the grain in smooth, even strokes. For poultry, use the fork to steady the bird whilst you cut through joints to separate legs and wings, then slice breast meat in thin, even slices. The Yatagan blade profile's gentle upsweep makes it easier to navigate around bones. Always cut away from yourself and keep fingers clear of the blade path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter each use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wash the knife and fork by hand immediately after use. Don't leave them soaking in water or sitting with food residue, as this can dull the blade and affect the handle over time. Use warm water, washing-up liquid, and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads on the blade. Rinse thoroughly under clean running water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying:\u003c\/strong\u003e This step is crucial. Dry both pieces immediately and thoroughly after washing using a clean tea towel. Don't leave them to air dry, as water spots can form and prolonged moisture exposure isn't ideal even for stainless steel. Pay particular attention to drying around the bolster and rivets where water can collect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store your carving set in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a drawer with blade guards. Never store loose in a drawer with other utensils, as this will dull the edge and risks injury. If storing in a drawer, use blade guards or wrap the knife in a cloth. Some people prefer to keep their carving set in a presentation box or display case between uses, which also works well for protecting the blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintaining sharpness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Before each use, run the blade along a honing steel 3-4 times per side at approximately 13-15 degrees. This realigns the edge and maintains sharpness between proper sharpenings. When the knife no longer responds well to steeling (typically after several months of regular use), it needs proper sharpening. You can sharpen at home using whetstones if experienced, or take to a professional knife sharpener. The N4116 Nitro+ steel is designed to be easy to sharpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening at home:\u003c\/strong\u003e If sharpening yourself, use whetstones starting with a medium grit (1000) and finishing with a fine grit (3000-6000). Maintain the 13-degree angle per side. Work carefully and consistently. If you're new to sharpening, practice on less expensive knives first or seek professional sharpening. A properly sharpened carving knife should slice through a ripe tomato with virtually no pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing a honing steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hold the steel vertically with its tip resting on a cutting board or towel. Hold the knife at approximately 13-15 degrees to the steel. Draw the blade down and across the steel in a smooth arc, starting with the heel of the blade near the bolster and finishing with the tip leaving the steel. Repeat 3-4 times per side. Light pressure is all that's needed—you're realigning the edge, not removing steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always use appropriate cutting boards—wood or quality plastic. Never cut on glass, marble, granite, ceramic, or metal surfaces, as these will quickly dull your knife. The carving knife is designed for slicing cooked meats on a carving board or directly from the serving platter—it's not intended for use on hard cutting boards with raw ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to avoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never put your carving set in the dishwasher, despite it being technically dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents, high heat, and water pressure can dull the blade, damage the edge, cause water spots, and gradually degrade the handle. Don't use your carving knife to cut through bones—it's designed for slicing meat, not chopping. Avoid twisting motions which can chip the edge. Don't use the knife as a can opener, screwdriver, or for any non-food tasks. Never leave the knife soaking in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always cut away from yourself and keep fingers clear of the blade path. Use the fork to steady items rather than your hand. When not in use, place the knife safely on your work surface with the blade facing away. Never try to catch a falling knife—step back and let it fall. Keep knives sharp—counterintuitively, a sharp knife is safer than a dull one because it requires less pressure and is less likely to slip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong-term care:\u003c\/strong\u003e With proper care, your Lion Sabatier carving set will last decades. The full tang construction means there's nothing to break or come loose. The POM handles require no special maintenance—no oiling or conditioning needed unlike wood. Simply continue hand washing, drying immediately, proper storage, and regular honing. If the edge becomes damaged or excessively worn, professional resharpening can restore it. The brass rivets may develop a patina over time, which many people find attractive, but can be polished if you prefer the bright brass look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTroubleshooting:\u003c\/strong\u003e If your knife seems dull despite regular steeling, it needs proper sharpening. If you notice any looseness in the handle, this is unusual with full tang construction but should be addressed immediately—contact us or a professional. If the blade develops rust spots (rare with stainless steel but possible in very humid conditions or if left wet), clean gently with a paste of baking soda and water, then dry thoroughly and oil lightly with food-safe mineral oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"trust-box\" id=\"guarantees\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #2c5530; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From Art of Living?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Reigate in 1972, we've spent over five decades helping customers select quality cutlery and kitchen knives.

This premium steel offers genuine stainless properties with superior corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention for long-lasting sharpness, relative ease of sharpening even at home, and 58 HRC hardness—the sweet spot between edge retention and sharpening ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100% fully forged construction means each blade is forged from a single piece of steel rather than stamped from sheet metal. This forging process creates a blade with superior strength and durability, better balance and weight distribution, enhanced performance that professional chefs demand, and a quality you can feel immediately when handling the knife. The full tang construction (blade extending completely through the handle) ensures the blade can never separate from the handle and provides perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach blade features a satin finish that reduces glare whilst maintaining the professional aesthetic.

POM offers moisture resistance that prevents cracking or warping, no special maintenance required (no oiling or conditioning), excellent durability through decades of daily use, comfortable grip even when slightly damp, and seamless integration with the traditional bolster design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite being a modern material, the POM handles maintain the classic Sabatier aesthetic. The black handles with brass rivets create a timeless look that wouldn't be out of place in a professional kitchen or a heritage collection. The brass rivets serve both functional and aesthetic purposes—securely attaching the handle scales to the full tang whilst adding visual warmth and traditional elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe symmetrical handle design accommodates both right and left-handed users, and the traditional Western grip provides comfortable, secure control during use. The handle lengths are proportioned to each blade size, ensuring proper balance and comfortable use regardless of which knife you've selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Block: Borneo Ashwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife block is crafted from Borneo ashwood, a premium hardwood chosen specifically for this application. Ashwood is renowned in fine furniture making for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, beautiful grain patterns that add natural character, excellent durability that withstands daily use, and natural resistance to splitting or cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe block's design provides angled slots that make knife identification and removal easy, protective storage that maintains blade edges, stability on the countertop without excessive weight, and a compact footprint (23.5 x 18 x 8.5cm) that doesn't dominate your worktop.

Wash all five knives in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately with a clean towel. This removes any manufacturing residue or protective oils. The knives should arrive reasonably sharp but may benefit from light honing on a steel before first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfter each use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wash knives by hand immediately after use. Don't leave them sitting with food residue or soaking in water. Use warm water, washing-up liquid, and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads on the blades. For the serrated bread knife, pay attention to cleaning between the serrations. Rinse thoroughly under clean running water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying:\u003c\/strong\u003e This step is crucial. Dry all knives immediately and thoroughly after washing using a clean tea towel. Don't leave them to air dry, as water spots can form and prolonged moisture isn't ideal even for stainless steel. Pay particular attention to drying around bolsters and rivets where water can collect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage in the block:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always return clean, dry knives to the block with the blade facing down into the slot. Never force a knife into a slot—it should slide in smoothly. The block protects your knives and prevents accidents. If a slot feels tight, check the knife is entering at the correct angle. Never store knives whilst still damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintaining sharpness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Before each use, run smooth-bladed knives along a honing steel 3-4 times per side at approximately 13-15 degrees. This realigns the edge and maintains sharpness between proper sharpenings. The serrated bread knife doesn't require regular honing. When knives no longer respond well to steeling (typically after several months of regular use), they need proper sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening:\u003c\/strong\u003e You can sharpen at home using whetstones if experienced (use 1000 grit followed by 3000-6000 grit, maintaining the 13-degree angle per side), or take to a professional knife sharpener. The N4116 Nitro+ steel is designed to be relatively easy to sharpen. Note: Don't attempt to sharpen the serrated bread knife at home—this requires specialist equipment and is best left to professionals, though serrated edges typically last for years before requiring sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing appropriate cutting surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always use wood or quality plastic cutting boards. Never cut on glass, marble, granite, ceramic, or metal surfaces, as these will quickly dull your knives. Each knife type has its purpose—using the right knife for each task extends blade life and makes cooking more efficient and enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to avoid with knives:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never put your knives in the dishwasher, despite the blades being technically dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents, high heat, and water pressure will dull blades, damage edges, and gradually degrade handles. Don't use knives to cut through bones (except with appropriate bone-handling techniques for the chef's knife with soft bones). Avoid twisting motions which can chip edges. Don't use knives as can openers, screwdrivers, or for any non-food tasks. Never leave knives soaking in water or put them in the sink where they can't be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKnife Block Care:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Position the block on a stable, level surface away from the edge of the countertop. Ensure it's not in a location where it might be knocked or where moisture accumulates. Keep away from the sink splash zone and cooking areas where oil splatter might occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegular cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe down the exterior of the block weekly with a slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately with a clean towel. This removes dust, fingerprints, and any cooking residue. For the knife slots, occasionally invert the block and tap it gently to dislodge any crumbs or debris that may have fallen in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeep cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every few months, remove all knives and clean the slots more thoroughly. Use a bottle brush or pipe cleaner to reach into the slots if needed. You can use a slightly damp cloth or very lightly dampened brush, but ensure the block dries completely before returning knives. Some people use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow attachment to remove debris from slots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood care:\u003c\/strong\u003e The ashwood block has a protective finish, but wood benefits from occasional conditioning. Every 6-12 months, or when the wood appears dry, apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioning oil. Apply with a soft cloth, allow it to absorb for a few hours, then buff off any excess. This maintains the wood's moisture balance and enhances its appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to avoid with the block:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never submerge the block in water or place it in the dishwasher. Don't use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing pads. Avoid placing the block in direct sunlight or near heat sources (oven, hob, radiators) as this can dry out and crack the wood. Don't use the block if it's wet—ensure it's completely dry before returning knives to slots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSafety Guidelines:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral knife safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always cut away from yourself and keep fingers clear of the blade path. Use proper cutting techniques with your knuckles curled back as a guide. When not actively cutting, place knives safely on your work surface with blades facing away. Never try to catch a falling knife—step back and let it fall. Keep knives sharp—counterintuitively, sharp knives are safer because they require less pressure and are less likely to slip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlock safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always insert and remove knives carefully, keeping your hands clear of the blade edge. Remove knives by grasping the handle firmly and pulling straight out—don't wiggle or twist. When carrying the block, hold it from underneath with both hands and keep it level. Ensure children understand that the knives and block are not toys and should only be used under supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Never store dirty knives in the block. Always ensure knives are completely dry before returning them to slots. If a knife doesn't slide smoothly into its slot, don't force it—check you're using the correct slot and angle. Position the block where it won't be knocked but is still convenient for the primary cook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eLong-Term Maintenance:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegular inspection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Periodically check knife handles for any looseness (unusual with full tang construction but should be addressed if noticed). Inspect blade edges for any chips or damage that might require professional attention. Check the block for any cracks, splits, or damage that might harbour bacteria or compromise stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintaining performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e With proper care, this knife set will last decades. Continue hand washing and drying immediately, store only clean and dry knives in the block, regular honing and periodic sharpening, and condition the block's wood 1-2 times per year. The combination of quality materials, proper care, and traditional craftsmanship ensures these knives will potentially outlast you and become family heirlooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to seek professional help:\u003c\/strong\u003e If a blade edge becomes chipped or damaged, take to a professional for repair. If you're uncomfortable sharpening knives yourself, use a professional sharpening service 1-2 times per year. If any handle develops looseness, contact us immediately. If the block develops cracks or splits, it may need replacement to ensure safe knife storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTroubleshooting:\u003c\/strong\u003e If knives seem dull despite regular steeling, they need proper sharpening. If the block develops an odour, it may need more thorough cleaning and drying. If the wood appears very dry or rough, it needs conditioning with mineral oil. If water spots appear on blades despite drying, you may be leaving them slightly damp—ensure thorough drying after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"trust-box\" id=\"guarantees\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #2c5530; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From Art of Living?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Reigate in 1972, we've spent over five decades helping customers select quality knife sets and kitchen essentials.

It has a longer, narrower blade than a chef's knife, which reduces the surface area in contact with the food as you cut and allows a smoother drawing motion. A chef's knife is a broader all-rounder suited to chopping, dicing and prep work; a carving knife is a specialist tool for the table or serving board. Many cooks who regularly cook a Sunday roast or entertain will find a carving knife justifies its own dedicated slot in the block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs 22cm the right length for most roasting joints and birds?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 22cm blade handles most domestic joints and birds comfortably - it's long enough to slice through a large chicken, turkey crown, leg of lamb or rolled joint in a single drawing stroke, which produces cleaner slices than a shorter blade that requires multiple cuts. For very large birds such as a whole turkey, a longer carving knife or a two-handed approach may be needed, but the 22cm is well suited to the range of joints most home cooks encounter regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does the hand-applied 15° edge mean for sharpness and maintenance?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15° edge angle refers to the angle at which each side of the blade is ground - a relatively acute angle that produces a sharper cutting edge than wider European angles (typically 20° or more). Robert Welch apply this edge by hand as part of the manufacturing process. For maintenance, you'll need a sharpener compatible with a 15° geometry - check your sharpening tool's specifications before use. The World Edge Geometry specification is designed so this edge can be maintained at home without specialist equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eShould I use a carving fork alongside this knife?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA carving fork holds the joint steady and safe while you slice, which makes for more controlled cuts and reduces the risk of the meat moving on the board. It is not strictly necessary, but most cooks who carve regularly find a fork useful. If you'd like to add a matching Robert Welch Professional carving fork, call us on 01737 222996 and we'll advise on availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan this knife be used for fish as well as meat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes - Robert Welch describe the carving knife as suitable for slicing meat, poultry and fish. The long, narrow blade is well suited to portioning cooked fillets or sides of fish cleanly. For breaking down raw whole fish (pinboning, filleting) a dedicated filleting knife would typically be more appropriate, as filleting requires a more flexible blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes this knife come in the knife block sets?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Robert Welch Professional Carving Knife 22cm is included in both the Professional Angle Oak and Book Oak Knife Block Sets. If you're considering a full knife collection, one of those sets may represent better value - the Book Oak set, for example, includes a saving of £97 versus buying the pieces individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e German DIN 1.4116 stainless steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully forged, full tang\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rockwell 57 (ice-hardened)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15° (hand applied)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e World Edge Geometry\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e DuPont™ POM with permanent RW steel insignia\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220mm \/ 8.5\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 338mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199g\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Securely boxed\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robert Welch lifetime guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"guarantees\" class=\"trust-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #2c5530; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From Art of Living?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Reigate in 1972, we've spent over five decades helping customers select quality cookware and kitchen equipment.

The Book Oak's blade-forward design places the cutting edge facing toward you as you look at the block. Robert Welch describe this as the correct orientation to reach for, remove and use the knives, and it means the knives are presented handle-up for safe, intuitive removal. If you're used to a traditional block, it can take a moment to adjust, but most users find it equally comfortable in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the Book Oak differ from the Robert Welch Angle Oak block?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth use solid oak and the same six-knife Professional set, but the two blocks have different designs and footprints. The Book Oak is upright at just 80mm deep - its slim profile makes it a good choice where counter depth is limited. The Angle Oak has a vertically angled slot design and is 153mm deep, which some cooks find more stable or prefer for aesthetic reasons. Both are sized to fit under standard wall cupboards at 365mm tall and 220mm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow much worktop space does the Book Oak block need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe block measures 220mm wide and just 80mm deep - a footprint roughly the width of an A4 page and barely wider than a large mug. It stands 365mm tall including knife handles, and is designed to fit beneath standard wall-mounted cupboards.
