This Wüsthof Classic Carving Knife, 20 cm is the perfect knife to carve a chicken, a leg of lamb or any meat on the bone. The thin, shallow blade cuts through meat fibres with ease and the fine tip allows you to cut close up to and around any bones.
Wüsthof Classic blade: razor-sharp stainless steel
The blade, made from chromium-vanadium steel (X50CrMoV15), is forged from one solid piece of steel. It is sharpened according to Wüsthof’s PEtec technology.
PEtec (PRECISION EDGE TECHNOLOGY) Wusthof’s patented system of high-tech sharpening that guarantees each and every knife leaving the factory floor has been sharpened to their specs. By measuring with lasers and using robots to do the sharpening, the aim is to ensure every blade is evenly sharpened from tip to heel and that there is consistency from knife to knife. This would be exhausting to verify, but my impression is that if you want a knife with a guaranteed sharp edge, out of the box, your odds are good with Wüsthof.
Wüsthof processes the steel in a specific way to make sure it has a high hardness of 58 Rockwell. As such the knife retains its sharpness for a really long time.
Wüsthof Classic handle: sustainable and hygienic
This knife is a combination of a forged blade and an ergonomic handle made from black POM, a very sustainable type of plastic. The handle can withstand all substances you find in the kitchen. The handle is traditionally and seamlessly riveted to the blade with three rivets. This means that dirt can never accumulate in between the blade and the handle. The crop protects your fingers from unnecessary contact with the edge. What more could you possibly ask for?
