Made in the USA. Blade style: 8" Carving.

Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners. -Arthur Boehm.

The blades are stamped by each company's logo - the marks of high standards and the promise of years of exceptional performance. Designed in conjunction with chefs at the legendary Parisian culinary arts school, the Wusthof Classic Le Cordon Bleu collection showcases a trimmed bolster that reduces fatigue and allows full use of the entire blade. Featuring a rounded tip and ultra-sharp serrated blade, this beautifully balanced 10-inch super slicer cuts easily through crusty loaves of bread without mashing and also slices roasts with the perfection professionals expect. Like all Classic knives, the serrated knife is precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. The blade has been impeccably ground, tapered, and polished, and its edge laser-tested for uniformity. Traditional in look, Classic Le Cordon Bleu knives are seamlessly constructed with a visible full tang triple-riveted into an ergonomically-shaped synthetic handle. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, Wusthof recommends hand-washing all fine cutlery. Made in Germany, the knife is fully guaranteed to be free of defects in materials and/or craftsmanship. -Ann Bieri From the ManufacturerThe Wusthof Story Renowned worldwide for quality craftsmanship, Wüsthof began making knives in 1814 in Solingen, Germany, with a "relentless dedication to superb quality and service.
