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 satin-finished, permanently riveted and assembled without gaps, meeting the highest hygiene standards. Thanks to the innovative bolster geometry and the handle's ergonomic, smooth shape, 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 and, with its 30° edge angle, is extremely sharp and stays so for a very long time. The laser-controlled PEtec process is used to create the perfect edge, and the final work is done by hand 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 the 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 bolster construction of the knife, it is lighter. This allows energy-saving work. In addition, the design makes it possible to use the entire blade and to re-sharpen it.
• 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.
• Ribbed blade – when cutting, small air pockets form in the recesses of the blade. This has the positive effect that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick.
• Precision double-serrated edge – the bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts through a hard crust as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. It stays sharp longer and requires less effort when cutting. The difference compared with a conventional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
