Lamson Cutlery Vintage Series Carving Set

A 58 Rockwell hardness indicates a precise balance between edge retention and durability. It is hard enough to hold a sharp edge through extensive carving sessions, yet resilient enough to resist chipping during regular use.

Yes, the full tang construction—where the steel extends through the entire handle—provides superior balance and structural integrity. It gives the knives a solid, weighted feel that makes carving large roasts or poultry much more controlled and stable.

While the POM handles are durable and moisture-resistant, we recommend hand washing and immediately drying the set to maintain the finish of the brass rivets. Avoid the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can dull the brass and degrade the handle material over time.

No, the curved bolster serves a functional purpose by providing a smooth transition from the handle to the blade. It acts as a natural resting point for your fingers, offering better control and an added layer of safety while you carve.

This carving set is proudly crafted in Massachusetts, USA, utilizing proprietary high-carbon stainless steel and traditional hand-finishing techniques.
