Wusthof Classic 9" Carving Knife Hollow Ground (4524/23;1040100823)

The Wüsthof Classic 9" Hollow Ground Edge Carving Knife features a long blade and is used to slice thin cuts of turkey, roast, ham, and other large cooked meats. A carving knife has a sharper edge than a chef’s knife, enabling it to cut thinner and more delicate slices. Its extra length allows it to make long and smooth slicing strokes—rather than having to saw back and forth rapidly – for professional looking slices. The narrow blade helps with maneuverability, especially around the bone in a ham or prime rib. The carving knife can also be used to fillet salmon and other large fish. Paired with a Wusthof Classic 6" Straight Meat Fork , you will be a professional carver in no time! Dimples or hollow-ground Hollow Ground edges on a blade create air pockets between the knife and the food while slicing for reduced friction and suction. This decreases prep time when slicing and cutting because foods slide easier off the blade with less binding and sticking. Keep your Wusthof knives in peak condition by using them with a high-quality Flexible Cutting Board and sharpening regularly using a Wusthof Sharpening Steel before you store them safely and out of sight with a space-saving Knife Storage Drawer .
