As the holidays come around I keep looking at the carving knife sets. Anyone actually use theirs? How are they?

I use mine during the holidays and they're great. I've added a steak knife and a 21 for turkey disassembly.
Looks like you've new here, welcome.

I like Warren use ours at Festive holidays. Does a great
job, if the operator does theirs.

I have been using a 10-7 for the same job, also works well.

Use mine frequently as the menu requires. Most Holidays/Birthdays/Any large gathering. Like others, I supplement with some other knives depending on the task and menu selection!

Food was much better than the pictures!!!!

Food looks great, as do the pictures.

I got my Model 6 from Perry. I think of him
every time I use it.

Good Guy to think about! My son's Graduation 28 (2nd Randall I owned) came from Perry as well!

I use mine all the time. It is a great carving set.

I plan on using a couple of Randalls tomorrow. Hope all ya'll do as well!
Happy Thanksgiving, Capt. Chris

What a beautiful set, Captain. I would love to get a Randall carving set but I have a carving knife and fork that was my Grandfathers that I will always use. Not close to Randall quality but it gets used often and the memories come back every time.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Gowds, when it comes to family memories and traditions.... use it till you can't!!!!

My disassembly tools for holiday roasts. Hasn't failed me yet.

That's an impressive lineup Warren..

Thanks Dave. They'll get a workout later today.

Chris,

Best looking Carving Set ever! Incredible Stag; love that you mixed up the end cap with butt plates.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and enjoy the day with your families!

Tom,

Cap can correct me if I'm wrong but the knife is set-up like a 6-9 fillet, standard hilt and not reduced. It is one great looking set, I agree.

Hope everyone has a blessed and very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
All the best, Capt. Chris
PS: Now I'm gonna' go and eat some of this turkey breast!

Either you had dinner at your place. ..or you brought the tent with you. .. praying it's option A.

Thanks for all the feedback - time to start watching for a set at a decent price.

Does anyone know when Randall may have used different forks with their carving sets?

I see some sets with a butt plate, which is normally a $40 option. Is that x3 for a carving set?

Any other options possible?

Eric, seems like everytime we re-order we get a slightly different version...

AR-Trvlr, yes, 3x the charge ..and check the catalog for options...too many to list

I bought this Randall carving set in the recent Poulin auction. It's my second Bowles scrimmed set with yellow micarta handles and by far the most elaborate. It is RB #06 and was done in 1983. It even came with a certificate and a leather case. I will certainly carve my turkey with it next week!

THAT is an O U T S T A N D I N G pickup Bruce!!!!!!!

Beautiful set Bruce, great score.
RB does the best wood duck, IMO. On my want list..

Have a GREAT Thanksgiving....

Beautiful set for sure.

I thought that might have been you Bruce. I was watching.

Excellent carving set Bruce. You are the King of yellow handled RMK.

A 3-7 from the 70s does a nice job on a London Broil.
I like it sliced thin.
Would of posted a pic but mmmmmm

Thanks, guys. I really like Rick's scrimshaw work. Here is the other carving set I have. Not so elaborate at the first one, but it does have a turkey on the knife handle! This one is not numbered.
