Cutlery fork Wüsthof Ikon meat fork 16 cm

The Wüsthof Ikon meat fork 16 cm is a forged stainless-steel carving fork designed for lifting, turning and steadying cooked meats during carving. With two long, tapered tines and an ergonomically shaped handle from the Ikon series, this fork offers controlled guidance for slicing roasts, poultry and hams. The compact 16 cm length makes it suitable for both domestic and professional kitchen work where precision and balance matter.

Advantages

The forged construction provides strength and durability while the long, pointed tines penetrate and hold meat securely with minimal fibre damage. The ergonomically contoured handle ensures a comfortable and stable grip for controlled carving motions. The single-piece forged design contributes to balance and a predictable centre of gravity, improving handling when turning or lifting hot or heavy cuts.

Suitable for

• Lifting and steadying roasts, whole poultry and ham during carving
• Turning large pieces of meat on a grill or in a pan
• Serving sliced meat at the table or buffet
• Professional kitchen use where reliable, robust forks are needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 16 cm (compact carving fork size)
• Material: forged stainless steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• Tines: two long, tapered tines for secure penetration and holding of meat
• Handle: ergonomic Ikon-style handle designed for comfortable grip and stability
• Finish: polished metal finish for easy cleaning

How to use

Hold the fork firmly by the handle and insert the tines into the meat close to the bone or at the desired holding point. Use the fork to steady the joint while making slicing motions with a carving knife or chef's knife. For turning on a grill or in a pan, secure the meat with the fork and use controlled motions to reposition the piece. After use, follow manufacturer care instructions; the fork is suitable for dishwasher cleaning unless the manufacturer advises otherwise.

Usage recommendations

When carving, place the fork so the tines face away from your body and use smooth, even strokes with your carving knife. For prolonged contact with acidic marinades or salty brines, rinse and dry the fork promptly to help maintain the stainless-steel finish.
