With a longer, narrower blade than a chef’s knife, the WÜSTHOF Ikon 8" Carving Knife is engineered for clean, even, wafer-thin slices of larger or tougher ingredients—perfect for a holiday roast—and is equally versatile for carving fruits and vegetables; forged from a single piece of specially tempered WÜSTHOF steel with a full tang, distinct double bolster, and a final edge hand-honed by WÜSTHOF artisans in Solingen, Germany, it features ergonomic handles crafted from sustainably grown, water-resistant African Blackwood.
