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 endlessly sharp blades in a timeless design. Before sharpening, every blade is laser-sharpened using Wüsthof's patented PEtec process. This ensures the best edge angle for the best possible cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade, forged from a single piece, runs through the full handle, is extremely sharp, and stays sharp 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 the ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold. The handle panels are made of a special synthetic material and are permanently triple-riveted, with no joints, 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. Moreover, the Classic Ikon is the tool used by the German National Culinary Team. The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series is certified by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) 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 even cutting.
• Half bolster – Thanks to the thinner bolster construction of the knife, it is lighter. This allows energy-efficient work. The design also allows use of the entire blade and resharpening.
• Wavy edge – The internally formed wavy edge gives clean cuts and is suitable for large fruit, vegetables or roasts. With its wide, long blade it 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.
• Peeling knife – The 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 reduces food waste.
• Nakiri – This knife has an exceptionally thin, Asian-style blade and is extremely sharp, with a 20° edge angle. The flutes ensure that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick.
