Know before you buy
The two-pronged design is specifically engineered to hold large roasts or poultry securely in place while you carve. It allows you to stabilize the meat without damaging the fibers, ensuring you can guide your knife for clean, uniform slices.
The double bolster adds weight to the center of the fork, which provides superior balance and a more substantial feel in your hand. This design helps reduce wrist fatigue during extended carving sessions.
While the high-carbon stainless steel is durable, Wüsthof recommends hand-washing all their cutlery to maintain the integrity of the edge and the handle material. Harsh dishwasher detergents can cause pitting on the steel and dull the finish over time.
The 58-degree HRC rating indicates that the steel has been tempered to a precise hardness that balances durability with edge retention. This ensures the tines remain rigid and strong enough to handle heavy meats without bending or snapping.
Yes, this fork is part of the Classic Ikon series and features the same signature ergonomic handle and double-bolster aesthetic. It is designed to be a perfect visual and functional companion to the Classic Ikon carving knives.
