Wüsthof Classic Ikon series
Extreme precision with perfect ergonomics. Black and elegant. Agile and robust. The Classic Ikon series combines perfect ergonomics, excellent balance and an endlessly sharp blade in a timeless design. Before grinding, every blade is laser-sharpened using Wüsthof's patented PEtec process. The best edge angle thus ensures the best possible cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC single-piece forged rust-resistant X50CrMoV15 steel blade runs through the handle, is extremely sharp and stays that way for a very long time. The special construction makes cutting, slicing, chopping and portioning easier. Thanks to their special shape, the knives are well balanced and their ergonomic handle sits comfortably in the hand. The handle panels are made of a special synthetic material and are permanently triple-riveted without joints, making them completely hygienic and easy to handle. The handle end is decorated with a laser-engraved Wüsthof logo. Recommended for everyday, effortless kitchen use by home cooks and professional chefs alike. What is more, the Classic Ikon is a tool used by the German National Culinary Team.
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series has NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification for public health and food safety.
• Double bolster geometry – Balance and ergonomics: the special geometry with a double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife therefore fits well in the hand and guarantees an even cut.
• Half bolster – The slimmer bolster construction makes the knife lighter. This allows energy-efficient work. The design also allows use of the full blade and resharpening of the whole edge.
• Wavy edge – The inner wavy edge produces a clean cut and is suitable for large fruit, vegetables or roasts. With its wide, long blade it is ideal for bread and cakes.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crusts as easily as soft bread or large fruit such as pumpkin. It stays sharp for longer, requiring less effort when cutting. The difference compared to a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Paring knife – This practical knife with a short curved cutting edge is particularly useful for peeling and cleaning round fruit and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which reduces food waste.
• Nakiri – This knife has an exceptionally thin Asian-style blade and an extremely sharp 20° edge angle. The fluting ensures that thin or soft foods come away from the blade more easily during use and do not stick.
