Black Handled Carving Set

Handmade in the United Kingdom, David Mellor's black-handled knives have a distinctive, modern look. Ice hardening the high carbon stainless steel makes the blades exceptionally sharp, akin to professional kitchen knives. The blades are then micro-serrated for effortless cutting and their acetal resin handles incorporate an internal back weight, giving an excellent balance and grip. This carving set contains:

• Elliptical-shaped carving knife with guard 22.5cm
• 2-pronged carving fork 30cm
• Sharpening steel 37cm

It comes in a specially designed wooden box with a sliding lid, perfect as a gift and the handmade box can provide permanent safe storage.

Known as one of the best designers in Britain, David Mellor, OBE, is renowned for his outstanding flatware. He insisted upon the essential relationship between making things and designing them. The black handle knife collection was designed by Mellor's son, Corin Mellor.

While David Mellor knives are technically dishwasher safe, we recommend washing and thoroughly drying by hand after each use to promote longevity. Knives that are left to sit in food, water residue or dishwashers at the end of their cycle could develop pits and stains. If stubborn stains do appear, use a stainless steel cleaner.
