WÜSTHOF Classic 9" Carving Knife

Amazon.com Tough polypropylene handles with full, visible tangs and the traditional three rivets distinguish Classic knives from Wüsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Classic knives are identical to other Wüsthof knives, embodying all the virtues that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wüsthof knife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece of high- carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. Blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as some knives'. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wüsthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action. With its long, narrow blade, this 9-inch carving knife neatly slices a roast, ham, or turkey into serving portions. Alternating hollows on each side of the blade create air pockets, allowing slices to fall away cleanly and permitting thinner slicing. Like all fine knives, it should be hand washed. --Fred Brack Product Description "Wusthof Classic 9"" Granton Hollow Edge Carving KnifeThis Wusthof Classic 9"" forged granton edge craving knife is perfect for carving larger cuts of meat, as well as for fruits and vegetables.
