Further manufacturer information:
The Chinese chef's knife is cleaver-shaped but not suitable for cutting through bones.

Thanks to the redesigned handle and the exceptionally sharp, polished edge, food preparation is truly enjoyable.
Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme series
The light alternative for the modern kitchen. Elegant design. Outstanding functionality. With its cream-colored handle, the Classic Ikon series knives are not only a special feature in 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 seamlessly assembled, and therefore meet the highest hygiene requirements. 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; with a 30° edge angle it is extremely sharp and stays that way 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 blade sharpness. The various blade shapes guarantee precise cutting. The special design makes cutting, slicing, chopping and portioning easier. The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme series holds NSF certification.

• Double bolster geometry – balance and ergonomics – the special geometry with double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife therefore fits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster – thanks to the slimmer bolster construction, the knife is lighter. This allows energy-saving work. The design also allows full use and resharpening of the 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 – this 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.
• Ribbed blade – when cutting, small air pockets form in the blade's recesses. This has the positive effect that thin or soft foods can be removed from the blade more easily during use and do not stick to it.
• 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 and requires less effort when cutting. The difference compared with traditional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
