Generally, a carving fork is longer. Are you using the short fort or
something about 10 inches long? The reason I'm asking is because it used to
be a common thing to find in the kitchen area of the supermarket and I
haven't seen one for year. Mine is about to pass away. I was able to find
some at Amazon.
