Carving up the Christmas turkey isn’t just the act of shaving flesh from bone – far from it. It’s ceremonial. It’s symbolic. It represents unity, abundance, and impending full bellies. If you’ve been entrusted with the honorary role of bird carver this year, your palms might be sweating at the daunting task of doing that turkey and your family proud. Lock in an effortlessly smooth slice with WÜSTHOF’s legendary carving knife and meat fork.
With over 200 years of perfecting the knife, WÜSTHOF knows a thing or two about making a sharp workhorse in the kitchen. Meticulously crafted from 100% German steel in Solingen, with the aim of lasting a lifetime, WÜSTHOF’s knives offer remarkable durability, exceptional agility, and sensational sharpness.
The WÜSTHOF carving knife is your Christmas companion, designed to make slicing roasted meat and thick-skinned fruits and vegetables as clean, simple, and effortless as possible. Whether shaving slices off a Christmas ham, dicing melon for canapés or carving up a chicken, this knife is always up to the task. Combine it with the WÜSTHOF straight meat fork, the knife’s ultimate sidekick, and you’ve got a formidable carving duo.
What gives the WÜSTHOF carving knife the edge?
A good carving knife can manoeuvre around bones and help slice both raw and cooked roasts into even pieces. A great carving knife, however, builds on these essential characteristics to make carving a wide range of large, irregularly shaped, or tough-skinned ingredients a genuine pleasure. The long, narrow blade is strong yet slightly flexible, helping to guide meat away from the bone, trim away tough pieces of fat and expertly break down larger or thicker fruits and vegetables. The pointed tip, meanwhile, acts as a built-in fillet knife, nimbly working around bones, tendons, ligaments, and fat caps.
When is it best used?
When faced with a large joint of meat, knowing how to tackle it can feel intimidating. Throw in bones, tendons and cartilage, and it’s understandable why no one in the family wants this titanic task. While you can use an all-purpose knife to tackle this job, you’ll notice the difference when you reach for a specialised blade. The WÜSTHOF carving knife has earned its stripes as a champion for slicing grilled meats and large roasts of all kinds and is the perfect present for the designated meat carver this festive season. WÜSTHOF really is a cut above the rest.
