Classic 8" Hollow Edge Carving Knife
A dedicated slicer, not your everyday utility knife
Also at Wüsthof · We earn a commission. It never changes the price you pay.
Eight inches of forged high-carbon stainless, ground thin and scalloped along the flat so slices release clean instead of clinging to the blade. The hollow grind traps air between steel and protein, letting you pull through a beef tenderloin or a whole bird in even sheets rather than ragged pieces. Weight sits forward at the bolster, built for a long draw stroke instead of a sawing motion. Full tang, triple-riveted handle, made for repetition since a carving station rarely means one cut. Good for prime rib at service, breaking down a roasted chicken in prep, or portioning a pork loin ahead of a banquet. Holds its edge through a full shift when it stays on protein and off bone.
Price we've observed
Every point is a price this site read on the maker's own page on the day shown. It is not a market low, and it is not scraped from a price tracker — it is only what we have seen ourselves. Today's price is the lowest we've recorded.
I worked a high-end Austrian resort where most of the line were work-visa chefs from Austria and Germany, and Wüsthof was what they all ran. Softer steel than a Japanese knife, so it takes an edge back in seconds on a steel and it doesn't chip when someone tired puts it through a chicken bone at 11pm. Easier to live with if you're not sharpening on whetstones.
A carving knife earns its spot by doing one job better than a chef's knife ever will: producing uniform slices off a large piece of cooked protein without tearing the surface or dragging juices across the cutting board. The length gets you through a whole tenderloin or brisket in one pass, and the granton edge keeps the release clean slice after slice during a banquet or a busy carving station. It is not a knife you reach for to break down a case of chicken. It is the one you keep sharp and separate for the moment protein comes off the heat and has to go out looking right.
