The 8" Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Carving Knife is perfectly designed for slicing turkey, roast ham and more. Alternating hollows on each side of the blade allows for less drag through your item so your thick or thin slices cleanly fall away from the blade.Like all knives in Wusthof's Classic series, this knife comes precision forged from a single piece of precisely tempered, high-carbon, stain-resistant steel.
