The Crafter series celebrates the spirit of old-world craftmanship with traditional blade shapes; authentic brass rivets and natural smoked oak handles for a select distinctive character. Fine and precise: with its long, narrow blade, the Wüsthof Crafter 8” Carving Knife is the specialist at slicing thin cuts of ham, roasted meat, and fish. The long blade and pointed tip offer more control while guiding meat away from bone, but also help transport food from serving dishes to dinner plates. The triple brass rivets and full tang provide durability and control, while the full bolster helps protect the fingers in everyday cooking. Designed with an ergonomic handle to sit comfortably in the hand for complete control and prevent slipping. Wash by hand only. Each Crafter Knife is forged from a single block of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC for lasting edge retention, integral blade strength, and ease of maintenance. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention. Family owned for seven generations, Wüsthof was founded in Solingen, Germany over 200 years ago. Wüsthof’s cutlery carries the Solingen name, a designation reserved for products that meet the strictest quality standards.
