Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A thoughtful gift for newlyweds or anyone setting up a first-time kitchen, this two-piece carving set features an 8-inch carving knife and a 6-inch fork. The carving knife provides a razor-sharp blade with a hollow-ground edge to prevent food from sticking to the blade, while the fork's prongs curved slightly, making it easy to lift meat and offering increased maneuverability while slicing. Use the knife and fork for slicing turkey, ham, pork roasts, and more. Both pieces come in a handy storage box with indents that keep the knife and fork secure.
Made in Solingen Germany, "The Cutlery Capital of the World", the Wusthof Classic knife and fork feature a special blend of high-carbon German stainless steel throughout the whole length of the blade and tines for exceptional strength and balance. The knife also provides a sharp, precisely tempered blade for safe, efficient use. Laser tested for accuracy, the unique, compound angle of the blade tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to create a sturdy, yet extremely sharp cutting surface. The blade also tapers from the bolster to the tip for added strength and flexibility. Another thoughtful detail includes the handles. Both items provide a triple-riveted, ergonomic handle for a secure, comfortable grip. The pieces should be washed by hand with a mild cleanser and dried thoroughly. The two-piece set carries a limited lifetime warranty.

PEtec--Precision-Edge Technology
New Wusthof technology offers superior sharpness!
The latest cutting performance tests carried out by the FGW (Forschungsgemeinschaft Werkzeuge und Werkstoffe e.V., a German research association for tools and materials based in Remscheid) confirm that Wusthof forged knives offer the best quality when compared to other well-known, single-layer brands.
The extensive tests were carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8442-5. Wusthof knives have a considerably higher ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) and maintain this performance for an extremely long time (TCC = Total Card Cut).
When compared with the winners in the "cook's knife" category awarded by German consumer organization "Stiftung Warentest" in its 1st edition of 2008, forged Wusthof knives featuring the new PEtec technology produce a result which is about 20% higher.
The Technology:
- Blades are measured by a laser before sharpening
- Computer programs calculate precise sharpening angle for each blade
- Knives are then sharpened on a whetstone using precision robots
- Knives are given a final polish using a special disc
The Benefits:
- Extremely high initial cutting performance
- Exceptionally long edge retention / long service life of blade
- Optimum cutting edge along the entire length of the blade
- Unique, consistently high and reproducible quality
PEtec from Wusthof--superior sharpness for professional and home cooks!
How Wusthof Knives are Made
Wusthof knives are known for their outstanding sharpness. By honing and sharpening the knives yourself you can maintain this feeling for a lifetime of use (see "Honing and Sharpening" section below for detailed guidelines on how to do so).
The evolution of a precision forged knife
Over 40 different manufacturing steps are needed to produce a forged Wusthof knife from one solid piece of steel.
Here you will find a detailed explanation of some of the most important production steps.
1. Sheet bar of high-carbon no-stain steel
2. Precision forged piece
3. Tempered to 58-degree Rockwell
4. Polished
5. Scales of handles and rivets
6. The Wusthof Cook's knife
Types of Blades
The Right Blade for Every Purpose
The edge is the business end of a knife. It is skillfully honed by hand and incredibly sharp. For different cutting tasks different blade shapes and edges are recommended.
The Differences:
Straight-edge blade: The straight edge allows a smooth and clean cut. When carving no fibres are torn out of the meat. This edge can be used for firm and soft food like meat, vegetables and fruit.
Serrated-edge blade: The wavy or serrated edge allows an easy cut through crusty food like a traditional roast and crispy bread.
Hollow-edge blade: When cutting an air pocket is created between the hollow edge and the slice. This prevents the food from sticking to the blade and allows for finer slices.
Cleaning & Storage
Proper care for long-lasting cooking enjoyment
If you value your tools, we recommend washing your knives with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse carefully and dry with a towel.
For proper storage we recommend the following options:
- Knife blocks in a variety of shapes, colors and configurations. The handy knife block provides protection for your blades as well as a visual compliment to your kitchen decor.
- Magnet Bars in wood, synthetic material or aluminum. Two extra strong magnet segments provide a safe, easily visible and space-saving storage option.
- Cook's cases in rolls and briefcase styles. This is the ideal method for professionals to store and transport their tools safely.

This review is from: Wusthof Classic 2-Piece Hollow-Ground Carving Set (Kitchen)
Purchased this for my wife to add to her collection of Wusthof classic knives. The carver cuts easily and like all their knives, stays sharp, has great balance, and holds easily in the hand.

This review is from: Wusthof Classic 2-Piece Hollow-Ground Carving Set (Kitchen)
I bought my first Wustoff Claasic knife over 25 years ago. I always hand-wash and dry them immediately.
Aftger giving my first purchase as a gift; I bought another set for myself. I am very happy with the consitent quality of this line of khives. They are milled from a solid-steel blank and have a full tang. The handle is ergonomic and the blade holds a good edge. F. Dick knives are made in the same factory in Soligen Germany and can be interchanged with these knives without question. I prefer the Wustoff Classic line but my son likes the Shun Ken Onion knives better. (I'm a much better cook so go with what fits your hand.)
