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 sharpening, each blade is laser-sharpened using Wüsthof's patented PEtec process, so the optimal edge angle delivers the best possible cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC single-piece forged stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade runs through the handle, is extremely sharp and stays sharp for a very long time. The special design makes cutting, slicing, chopping and portioning easier. Thanks to their special shape, the knives are well balanced and their ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold. The handle panels are made of a special synthetic material and are permanently triple-riveted without seams, so 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. What is more, Classic Ikon is a tool used by the German National Culinary Team.
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series has NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) public health and food safety certification.
• Double bolster geometry - Balance and ergonomics: the special geometry with a double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife fits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster - Thanks to the thinner bolster construction, the knife is lighter. This allows energy-saving work. The design also makes it possible to use and resharpen the full blade.
• Wavy edge - The internally formed wavy edge produces a clean cut and suits large fruits, vegetables or roasts. The wide, long blade 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 fruits such as pumpkin. It stays sharp for longer and requires less effort when cutting. The difference compared with a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Peeling knife - This practical knife with a short, curved cutting edge is especially useful for peeling and cleaning round fruit and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which also reduces food waste.
• Nakiri - This knife has an exceptionally thin, Asian-style blade with 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.
