Sharpening the Hollow Edge Wüsthof Classic Carving Knife
Wondering how to sharpen a Wüsthof Classic hollow edge carving knife? Sharpen the main edge exactly like any straight-edge blade: use a Wüsthof sharpening steel, hand whetstone, or pull-through sharpener at the factory 14-degree edge angle. The hollow indentations sit above the cutting edge and never touch the stone, so the hollow edge does not affect sharpening. Regular honing between uses and periodic stone sharpening keeps the PEtec edge performing at its 20%-sharper, twice-the-edge-retention spec.

Materials and Construction
Forged from a single block of high carbon stainless steel and tempered to 58 HRC, with a full bolster and finger guard for safe, balanced cutting. The triple-riveted synthetic handle resists fading, discoloration, heat, and impact.
Size and Function
The 9-inch blade is longer and narrower than a chef's knife for clean meat slicing, with a pointed tip that guides meat away from the bone. Hollow edge indentations create air pockets that reduce friction and push food off the blade.
Compatibility and Use Cases
Carve turkey, ham, prime rib, brisket, and roasts; the hollow edge also handles fresh produce prep. Hand wash and dry; hone regularly with a Wüsthof steel.
Comparison and Alternatives
Against the Wüsthof Classic IKON carving knife, the Classic offers the same forged blade performance at a lower sale price with the traditional triple-riveted handle. Against stamped carving knives, this forged blade holds its edge far longer — better value per dollar.
