Know before you buy
The curved design is specifically engineered to provide better leverage and a more natural angle when holding roasts steady. It allows you to secure the meat firmly against the cutting board while keeping your hand at a comfortable, safe distance from the knife blade.
The prongs are designed to be sharp and narrow, which allows them to pierce the meat cleanly without shredding or tearing the fibers. This ensures your roasts maintain their structural integrity and presentation while you slice.
While the synthetic handle is designed to resist heat and impact, Wüsthof recommends hand-washing all of their cutlery. Dishwashers can be harsh on high-carbon steel and may cause the handle rivets to loosen over time.
Full tang construction means the steel extends from the tip of the prongs all the way through the end of the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and durability, ensuring the fork feels sturdy and secure in your hand during use.
Yes, the 6-inch size is versatile enough for a variety of tasks. It works exceptionally well for holding ham, poultry, fish, and even firm sausages in place while you portion them.
The 58-degree HRC (Hardness Rockwell C) rating indicates that the steel is tempered to a precise balance of hardness and flexibility. This ensures the prongs remain rigid enough to hold heavy meats securely without being so brittle that they are prone to snapping.
