The Pride Carving Set carries David Mellor's first cutlery design, created in 1953 while he was still a student at the Royal College of Art. This carving set is finished with a fine, tapered profile and ivory-coloured handles, done by hand. The blade is high carbon stainless steel, ice hardened to minus 80°C, ground to hold an edge that carves cleanly through a roast without tearing the meat.
The fork's tines are set wide enough to anchor a bird or joint firmly, without piercing so deep the juices run out.
Carving knife 20cm, carving fork 25.5cm.
Comes in a solid ash box with hinged lid and clasp, 35.5 x 11 x 5cm deep.
