Wusthof Carving Knife

Ideal for boning meats and poultry, the Wusthof Carving Knife is a premium carving knife known worldwide for its quality. It is manufactured in Solingen, Germany and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

There are various different styles and sizes of carving knife. These include the smallest 7in carving knife, the 8in hollow edge knife, and the 8in serrated edge. The 8 inch knives are better suited to carving meat as it is possible to make a whole slice using one full cut. One of the most expensive Wusthof knives is the Ikon Blackwood 8in Hollow Edge Carving Knife. The handle is triple riveted and made of rare African Blackwood from Mozambique. Blackwood is a slow-growing tree which grows individually from stumps and is harvested by local people. The African government control how much Blackwood is harvested, so only a small amount is available for the Wusthof knives. It has a double bolster which not only provides balance while cutting but also ensures maximum comfort. The whole blade is made from one piece of X50CrMoV15 high carbon stainless steel tempered to produce a very hard finish and is cut thinner than most German blades for a sharper edge. This high quality metal makes sharpening the knife very easy. All Wusthof knives are produced on a robot assisted production line but the Ikon Blackwood is finished by hand for a more unique finish.

A more affordable option, but just as effective, is the Wusthof 8in Classic Carving Knife. It is slightly thinner and lighter than other Wusthof blades due to the way it is cut. Cut with a laser, the blade is perfect, super sharp and cuts very precise slices of meat. Like most Wusthof knives, it has a hollow edge which creates pockets of air so that food does not stick to the blade.

Since it made its first knife in 1814, Wusthof has focused on producing forged blades for professional chefs and serious amateur cooks. There are many steps in the manufacture of the perfect blade. Skilled workers and high-tech robots guide the production of the knife through 40 different steps to ensure every blade is made to the highest standards. All knife blades are rust resistant and very hard wearing.

Every knife blade is engraved with the Wusthof name, Trident logo and Solingen where the knife is manufactured. Solingen is known as the cutlery capital of the world. Each knife handle is ergonomically designed for comfort during use and to make cutting meat easier and more controlled. They are designed to resist cracking and warping. Caring for your Wusthof knife will ensure it lasts forever. The knife is dishwasher safe but washing by hand with a mild cleanser is recommended by the manufacturer.

Wusthof is a world renowned cutlery manufacturer used by head chefs everywhere. It produces some of the most luxurious knives globally and the Wusthof Carving Knife is central to its success.
