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, each blade is laser-guided using Wüsthof's patented PEtec process, which ensures the best edge angle for the best possible cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade, forged from a single piece, 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 the ergonomic handle fits comfortably in the hand. The handle panels are made from a special synthetic material and are permanently triple-riveted, seamlessly, so they are 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. The Classic Ikon is also a tool used by the German National Culinary Team. The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series is certified by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) for public health and food safety.
• Double support geometry – Balance and ergonomics: the special geometry with a double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife sits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster – Thanks to the thinner support structure, the knife is lighter. This allows energy-saving work. The design also allows the full blade to be used and re-sharpened.
• Wavy edge – The wavy edge created on the inside gives a clean cut 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 crust as easily as soft bread, or large fruit such as pumpkin. It stays sharp longer and requires less effort when cutting. The difference compared with a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Paring knife – The 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 is extremely sharp, with a 20° edge angle. The ribbing ensures that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick.
