Further manufacturer information:
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 honing, every blade is laser-sharpened using Wüsthof's patented PEtec process, so that the best edge angle delivers the best possible cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC stainless X50CrMoV15 blade, forged from a single piece, runs the full length of the handle; it is extremely sharp and stays that way for a very long time. The special design makes cutting, slicing, chopping and portioning easy. 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 triple-riveted for lasting durability; with no joins, they are completely hygienic and easy to handle. The end of the handle is decorated with a laser-engraved Wüsthof logo. Recommended for everyday, effortless kitchen use by home cooks and professional chefs alike. Moreover, the 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 therefore fits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster – Thanks to the thinner support construction of the knife, it is lighter. This allows energy-efficient work. The design also allows the entire blade to be used and resharpened.
• Wavy edge – The wavy edge formed on the inside produces clean cuts and is suitable for large fruit, vegetables or baked goods. 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 for longer and requires less effort when cutting. The difference from a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Peeling knife – The practical knife, with its 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 ribbing ensures that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
