Will be camping for Thanksgiving again this year. This is my personal camp slicer. Spyderco Sprig.

This thing. The blade doubles as a cheese grater

Cutting the turkey is more of a "let's get it done" so we can eat and as a result, we use an electric knife.

Electric or any sharp carving knife gets it plated cleanly. Unless something has gone very wrong, you can cut the turkey with a fork on the plate.

10” Grohmann kitchen knife. I like a big sharp kitchen knife for my turkey.

Went from the bird to the beef with this one last year.....

Did I miss it, or has everyone forgotten the obvious-SMATCHET?

Would Love to see the new BK 62 Kephart carve up the turkey, just in time for the holidays.

once the turkey hits my plate, its finger food - no cutting involved.
to actually carver the turkey - I take the largest knife I can find at whatever house I"m at, and sharpen it the night before

I vote "NONE OF THE ABOVE". The best turkey (any meat } slicing knife is the Victorinox Fibrox boning knife, or chef knife if you like a bigger blade. These commercial grade Fibrox knives are very popular in the restaurant industry, and for good reason. The Dragon Lady (my darling wife) uses a whole set in her kitchen and loves them.

@neverlick...Don't have pictures yet because I'm still filling out the set. Once I have a set suitable for pics I will post them all. 5", 8", 10" chefs knives, 10" carving knife, 5" & 8" utility knives, 3" paring knife. All Niro V at Rc 63.

tim37a, looking forward to seeing your set.

i somehow managed not to carve a turkey this year.

but i fried one - as I'm getting ready to dunk that delicious bird, somebody comes up with the bright idea to fry it like Andrew Zimmern (sp?).
so i google it up, and see that he does it like a KFC.

not being up for that - we decided to take off the wings, and the leg/thigh. and fry them separately from the breast/body.
father in law offered to get a knife from the kitchen. I told him to save the steps and just grab me a beer. pulled my spyderco domino from my trusty right front and slipped the appendages off with ease. I then polished off my brew, washed the domino off in the bathroom sink, and wiped it dry on the drapes.

ps - the turkey was good and dissappeared in short order - leaving the oven roasted bird, lonely, on the serving counter with the sweet pickles and my aunts potato salad

GatorFlash1, thank you for sharing these videos. These look like great knives for preparing a delicious meat-centered meal! The Dragon Lady must know a thing or two.

Thanks for sharing l1ranger! Love the holiday stories. Nothing better than family, meat, beer, and sweet knives!

yum- must be time for a snack when your mouth salivates from eyeballing a picture!

22-rimfire, I hear ya. When it's time to eat, there is no time for dilly-dallying. Electric knife seems like the proper choice for a hungry crowd.

Can't vote for any in your poll ... some combination of this group are what will be used to carve the turkey cut the ham and any other holiday goodies that need cut ...

Looks like any of those will get the job done well! Thanks for sharing the sweet pic.

We generally use a 20" khukuri.

Steely Gunz, any pics of this khukuri!?
