Slice ham, turkey, prime rib and more with uniform precision using this 8-in. carving knife. You'll also find it ideal for slicing fish - the slim blade slips between skin and flesh without tearing. Wusthof, established in Solingen, Germany in 1814, is one of the world's premier manufacturers of forged cutlery. Le Cordon Bleu, founded in Paris in 1895, is recognized as the world leader in professional culinary education with 25 schools located in 15 countries. Excelling at what each does best, the two companies have recently combined their years of expertise to create the Le Cordon Bleu collection by Wusthof. Their high-end cutting tools are precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon steel with incredibly sharp, specially polished edges. The knives feature distinctively lighter bolsters that are more agile, thus reducing fatigue even with the repetitive motions associated with dicing, peeling or chopping. The handles have no seams that might otherwise attract food particles or juices, making them completely hygienic, and are triple-riveted for added strength. 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. Lighter in heft than its standard Classic counterpart, yet still beautifully balanced, this eight-inch carving knife features an ultra-fine, ultra-sharp edge that slices thin, uniform slices of meat off smaller roasts and also cuts larger fruits and vegetables with the perfection professionals expect. Like all Classic knives, the carving 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. After repeated use, the edge may be easily resharpened using a sharpening steel. 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
