Wüsthof Ikon series

Forged luxury. Every knife has a unique pattern. A sharp blade and premium wood.
With their special characteristics, the Ikon series knives make the holiday experience. The handle, made of selected (sustainably grown) African grenadilla wood (Dalbergia melanoxylon), is permanently riveted and visually striking, with each piece having a unique pattern. The special wood is water-resistant and hygienic, making it particularly suitable for use in the kitchen. At the same time, the naturally warm-feeling and ergonomically shaped handle is a pleasure to hold and use. The unique geometry with a double bolster fits well in the hand, guarantees optimal balance and provides even cutting, even over longer periods. Thanks to the half bolster, the knife is lighter, which allows energy-efficient work. The design also makes full use of the blade and allows it to be sharpened completely. The blade is made of a single piece of high-quality stainless X50CrMoV15 steel, forged with a 29° edge angle, and is characterised by a high level of robustness and durability. The blade runs through the handle (full tang). The final hand-finishing by experienced Wüsthof specialists provides extraordinary sharpness and fast, easy cutting.
• 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 handle construction of the knife, it is lighter. This allows energy-efficient work. The design also makes it possible to use and re-sharpen the entire blade.
• Peeling knife – The practical knife with its short, curved cutting edge is particularly good for peeling and cleaning round fruit and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which also reduces food waste.
• Handle – The African grenadilla wood handle panels are permanently riveted and fitted without gaps. The water-resistant wood is extremely hygienic and comes from controlled cultivation.
• Ribbed blade – Air pockets form in the hollows of the blade during cutting. The positive effect is that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade 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 fruit such as pumpkin. The difference compared with traditional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
Dishwasher use is not recommended.
