A whole Spanish jamón is a culinary treasure. It is important to have the right tools to slice and carve every part of your ham. Trimming and slicing it will require different types of knives, and this top quality stainless steel set will allow you to carve like a professional.

This knife set will help you carve any whole cured ham from Spain, whether it is a traditional Serrano ham or the finest Jamón Ibérico de Bellota.

At first you will use a large sturdy knife for cutting away the outer skin and fat to expose the ham underneath. Then you will need a long, flexible knife for cutting thin slices. The short, agile knife is for cutting around bones and difficult to reach areas. We also include a sharpening steel with a diamond hard surface which will keep the knives razor sharp. The whole set is packed in a durable black canvas carrying case for storage and portability.
