Details on Mighty Carver
The Story Behind It
1) Mighty Carver was invented by Kim and Lance Burney from Florida, who after a Thanksgiving in a cabin in the woods, saw how excited everyone got over using the chainsaw to cut shrubs or trees down. After their grandfather passed away (he was the carving magician), no one was excited about the turkey carving process. So, what if they could be? That’s where the idea began.
Who are the Founders?
2) Kim is the CEO of Lankim LLC; Lance is a co-owner (the name is a hybrid of their monikers.) Kim’s been in charge of sales, distribution, marketing efforts, etc. You name it, she’s done it. Lance has been running his own companies for more than 30 years, and is currently the President of Sigalarm. Safe to say these two know what they’re doing.
3) The carver really does look like a chainsaw. It’s 19′ long x 5.8′ wide x 8.7′ high, with surgical grade blades. The handle is comfortable and makes the device easy to use.
4) Aside from carving up a Thanksgiving turkey, Mighty Carver can be used for slicing any other types of meat, fruit, bread, and vegetables. It’s a product you’ll use year-round.
5) You can purchase it from Amazon. While they only have the one product right now, the sky’s the limit for Kim and Lance.
