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 sharpening, every blade is laser-guided using the PEtec process patented by Wüsthof, so the optimal edge angle delivers the best cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade, forged from a single piece, runs through the entire 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 handles fit 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 end of the handle is decorated with a laser-engraved Wüsthof logo. Recommended for daily, effortless kitchen use by home cooks and professional chefs alike. Moreover, Classic Ikon is a tool used by the German National Culinary Team.
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series holds 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 fits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster – Thanks to the thinner bolster construction, the knife is lighter. This allows energy-efficient work. The design also allows use of the full blade and resharpening.
• Wavy edge – The inner wavy edge produces clean cuts and is suitable for large fruit, vegetables or roasts. With its wide, long blade it is excellent 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 longer and requires less effort to cut. The difference compared with a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Peeling knife – The practical knife with its short, curved cutting edge is especially good 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 is extremely sharp, with a 20° edge angle. The grooving ensures thin or soft foods are more easily released from the blade during use and do not stick.
