The Robert Welch Professional 22cm Carving Knife is built for exactly that. The blade is fully forged from German DIN 1.4116 stainless steel, ice-hardened to Rockwell 57, and finished with a hand-applied 15° edge using Robert Welch's World Edge Geometry - a specification designed to produce a harder, more resilient blade with longer-lasting sharpness and straightforward home maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 220mm, the blade provides enough length to slice through a large joint or whole bird in one smooth, uninterrupted draw. The knife is 338mm in overall length and weighs 199g - substantial in the hand but well balanced, consistent with the rest of the Professional range. Like all Professional kitchen knives, it comes securely boxed, making it a practical standalone purchase or a considered gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e German DIN 1.4116 stainless steel, ice-hardened to Rockwell 57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully forged, full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-applied 15°, World Edge Geometry for resilience and lasting sharpness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220mm \/ 8.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 338mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ergonomic DuPont™ POM with permanent RW steel insignia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Securely boxed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robert Welch lifetime guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Robert Welch Professional range - designed for keen home cooks and professional chefs who want a heavier, classically styled knife that performs under regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: You must be aged 18 or over to purchase this product in the UK.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qa\" class=\"qa-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Customers Ask About the Robert Welch Professional Carving Knife\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is a carving knife actually for, and how is it different from a chef's knife?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA carving knife is purpose-built for slicing cooked meat, poultry and fish in clean, even portions. 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.
