Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme series: a light alternative for the modern kitchen. Elegant design. Outstanding functionality. With its cream-coloured handle, the knives of the Classic Ikon series are not only special on the knife market but a true feast for the eyes in any kitchen. The special synthetic handle panels, like the black Classic Ikon, are grain-polished, permanently riveted and assembled without gaps, meeting the highest hygiene requirements. Thanks to the innovative bolster geometry and the ergonomic, smooth shape of the handle, the knife sits perfectly balanced in the hand and is easy to use. The laser-sharpened, 58 HRC, single-piece forged stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade runs through the handle; with a 30° edge angle it is extremely sharp and stays that way for a very long time. The perfect edge is created using the laser-controlled PEtec process, and the final hand-finishing is done by Wüsthof's experienced specialists for maximum sharpness. The various blade shapes guarantee precise cutting. The special construction makes cutting, slicing, chopping and portioning easier.
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme series holds NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) public health and food safety certification.
• Double bolster geometry: balance and ergonomics. The special geometry with the double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife therefore sits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster: the thinner bolster construction makes the knife lighter. This allows energy-saving work. The design also allows the full blade to be used and resharpened.
• Handle end with logo: the riveted ergonomic handle ensures a perfect grip, and the handle end is decorated with an elegant laser-engraved Wüsthof logo.
• Peeling knife: the practical knife with a short, curved cutting edge is particularly useful for peeling and cleaning round fruits and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which reduces food waste.
• Fluted blade: small air pockets form in the blade's recesses during cutting. This has the positive effect that thin or soft foods can be removed from the blade more easily during use and do not stick.
• Precision double serrated edge: the bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crusts as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. It stays sharp longer and requires less effort when cutting. The difference compared to traditional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
