Overview
Joselito ham carving knife is long, fine and flexible. A blade that slides through the ham with precision to give thin, even, almost translucent slices. This Joselito knife, with its red riveted handle and logo-etched hollow-edge blade, is made for that task on a whole bone-in ham or shoulder.
Why You Should Buy
- The right tool: a long, flexible blade is the key to thin slices that melt on the tongue.
- From a ham house: chosen by Joselito to go with its own hams.
- Everyday carving: a practical choice for home, deli or restaurant use.

Lifestyle Integration
Fix the ham firmly in a holder. Use a short knife to clear the rind and yellow fat from the area you will carve. Then switch to the ham knife. Keep the cutting surface flat and parallel to the table. And use smooth, continuous strokes towards the tip to cut slices about 3 to 4 cm wide.
Care
Wash by hand and dry immediately. Hone regularly and keep the knife in a block, on a magnetic strip or in a sheath.
About Joselito: Declared the Best Ham in the World
Joselito is a legendary name in Spanish gastronomy. Since 1868, six generations of the same family in Guijuelo, Salamanca, have shared a single obsession: to produce the Best Ham in the World. Joselito carries that title, “Declared the Best Ham in the World”, on every label, and it is served in the most prestigious restaurants and sold in gourmet food shops in 56 countries.
The greatest names in gastronomy speak of it in the same terms. Ferran Adrià of elBulli calls Joselito “a unique ham, perfect”, and for Seiji Yamamoto of Ryugin in Tokyo, it is “the best ham in the world”. Through JoselitoLab, three-Michelin-star chefs including Massimiliano Alajmo, Jonnie Boer, Joachim Wissler, Yannick Alléno and Eneko Atxa have created new dishes with Joselito.
Everything starts in the dehesa, the ancient woodland of holm and cork oaks in western Spain. Joselito’s Happy Pigs, from the family’s own genetics, live freely there for around two years, with about three hectares of pasture each, feeding on acorns and grass. Joselito practises regenerative grazing, resting the land and returning nutrients to the soil, so the landscape, the animals and the product stay in balance.
In Guijuelo, the cold, dry air of the Gredos, Béjar and Francia mountains flows through more than 1,000 windows in Joselito’s natural drying rooms, and century-old cellars finish the work. Every Joselito product is 100% natural, with no preservatives or artificial colouring, and gluten and lactose free. In 2018, its 150th anniversary, Joselito received Spain’s Premio Nacional de Gastronomía.
