What knife are you going to carve turkey with?

I've been using this Case for the Thanksgiving turkey for 10 or 15 years. The holidays are the only time it's used.

8" Icel slicer.

It's a specifically designed meat carving blade, part of my kitchen knife set.

I know, some of you are thinking, "What? They make specific knives for carving and slicing meat?!?!?"

Go figure.
 
I have about a foot-long yanagi ba that I spec'd out and ordered from Murray Carter some years ago. A long wait, but worth it. Since it's made to slice soft fish for sushi, it will take thin slices off a turkey beautifully.

And when you're holding that beast over the turkey, few people try to snatch pieces before dinner!;)

Probably my Al Mar 4009 "Alaskan" Bowie if it is not sold by tomorrow. If not then one of Mike Mooney's fighters.

Although I'd like to use it, my wife won't let me. She says I'll get food on the walls and ceiling again.

An old Fiskars carving set I was given in Finland last year. Carbon steel blade is 9 inch long with a spear point, and both the knife and fork have deer or reindeer antler handles. Sharpens up very nicely and cuts thin slices well.
 
I have a 24" Tram that has been whipped out on occassion to screw with knife-fearing hippie relatives, but the task will probably be left up to my old man's custom-made bowie he built in college.
 
A Landi kitchen knife (good stuff) and 6" Shun utility will take care of most Thanksgiving duties.
 
Bark River Kephart. It is my favorite fix blade. It has curley maple handles, and I think it is a fine looking knife.
 
Not a whole lot of carving done here. The thing was cooked so tender in mostly fell of the bone. Good eaten though.:D
