The Wüsthof Classic 26 cm salmon and ham knife with hollow edge is a precision cutting tool designed for professional and home kitchen use. This high-carbon stainless steel blade features a traditional German full-tang construction with precision-forged bolster for optimal balance and control. The 26 cm blade length provides an extended cutting surface for slicing large cuts of meat, fish, and poultry with smooth, single-stroke efficiency. The hollow edge design incorporates precisely spaced indentations along the blade to reduce friction and prevent food from sticking during slicing. This knife is manufactured using Wüsthof's PEtec process, ensuring precise edge geometry and long-lasting sharpness retention. The triple-riveted synthetic polyoxymethylene handle offers a secure, comfortable grip even with wet hands, while the ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The blade measures 26 cm in length with a total knife length of approximately 41 cm, weighing approximately 250 grams. Constructed from high-carbon no-stain steel with Rockwell hardness of 58, this knife maintains optimal edge retention while resisting corrosion and discoloration. Suitable for slicing smoked salmon, ham, roast beef, turkey, and other large protein cuts, the thin, flexible blade allows for precise, paper-thin slices without tearing or crushing delicate textures. The knife is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve blade integrity and handle condition. Compatible with standard knife blocks and magnetic strips for secure storage. This model is a successor to previous Wüsthof salmon knife designs with improved hollow edge geometry and enhanced handle ergonomics. Manufactured in Solingen, Germany, following traditional cutlery craftsmanship standards with modern precision engineering techniques.
