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, with a timeless design. Before grinding, 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 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 their ergonomic handles fit comfortably in the hand. The handle panels are made of a special synthetic material and are permanently triple-riveted, without joints, making them 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 the 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 bolster construction of the knife, it is lighter in weight. This allows energy-efficient work. The design also makes it possible to use and resharpen the entire blade.
• Wavy edge - The wavy edge formed from the inside gives a clean cut and is suitable for large fruits, vegetables or baked goods. 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 crusts as easily as soft bread or large fruit such as pumpkin. It stays sharp longer and requires less effort when cutting. The difference compared to a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Paring knife - The practical knife with a short, curved cutting edge is particularly useful for peeling and trimming 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 grooves ensure that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
