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 also a true feast for the eyes in any kitchen. The special synthetic handle panels, like those of 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 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 its 30° edge angle it is extremely sharp and stays that way for a very long time. The laser-guided 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 NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification for public health and food safety.
• Double bolster geometry – Balance and ergonomics – the special geometry with double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife therefore sits well in the hand and guarantees an even cut.
• Half bolster – Thanks to the thinner bolster construction, the knife is lighter. This allows energy-efficient work. Furthermore, the design allows use of and resharpening of the whole blade.
• 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.
• Paring knife – The practical knife with a short, curved cutting edge is especially useful for peeling and trimming 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. The positive effect is 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 hard crusts as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. It stays sharp longer, requiring less effort when cutting. The difference compared to a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
