Product Information
Full details
The Victorinox Carving Fork is designed for professional chefs and home cooks who demand precision and durability when preparing roasts and large cuts of meat. Its key benefit is the combination of ice-tempered high-carbon stainless steel prongs that easily pierce through meats and a ergonomic, heat-resistant riveted rosewood handle for a secure grip, though users should note that the wooden handle requires hand-washing to ensure long-term preservation.

FAQs
Can this carving fork be used on the grill?
While the steel prongs are heat-resistant, it is recommended to avoid leaving the rosewood handle directly over high heat or flame to prevent scorching or damage to the natural material.
How do I sharpen the prongs?
Generally, carving forks do not require sharpening. However, if the tips become slightly blunted, a fine-grit honing steel can be used to lightly touch up the points.
Is the handle waterproof?
No, the handle is made of natural rosewood and is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water will cause the wood to expand and potentially crack.
What is the total length of the fork?
The fork has a prong length of 15.2cm, with the handle adding additional length for an ergonomic total profile.
Does the fork come with a protective cover?
No, the fork does not include a sheath. It is best stored in a knife block or a protective drawer insert to keep the prongs safe.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels dry or dull over time
Apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to the rosewood handle to condition the wood and restore its natural luster.
Prongs showing signs of surface oxidation
Use a non-abrasive stainless steel polish and ensure the fork is completely dried immediately after every use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this tool; it is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain the integrity of the Victorinox Carving Fork, always wash by hand using mild detergent and warm water. Never place the fork in a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh chemicals will cause the rosewood handle to dry out, crack, or lose its finish. After washing, dry the fork thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing it in a dry location, preferably in a wooden knife block or a dedicated utensil drawer organizer to protect the sharpness of the prongs.
