Wüsthof Ikon series
Forged luxury. Every knife has a unique pattern. Sharp blade and premium wood.
With its special features, the Ikon series makes knives a celebration of the holidays. The handle, made of selected (sustainably cultivated) African grenadilla (Dalbergia melanoxylon) with permanent rivets, is striking, and every piece has a unique pattern. The wood's special water-resistant and hygienic properties make it particularly suitable for kitchen use. At the same time, the handle feels natural, comfortably warm and has an ergonomic shape, a pleasure to hold and use. The unique geometry with a double bolster sits well in the hand, guarantees optimal balance and ensures even cutting, even over longer periods. Thanks to the half bolster, the knife is lighter, which allows energy-saving work. Furthermore, the design allows use and sharpening of the entire blade. The blade is forged from a single piece of high-quality X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, with a 29° edge angle, characterised by a high level of robustness and durability. The blade runs the full length of the handle (full tang). Final hand-finishing by experienced Wüsthof specialists ensures extraordinary sharpness and quick, easy cutting.
• Double bolster geometry – Balance and ergonomics – the special geometry with a 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, the knife is lighter in weight. This allows energy-saving work. The design also allows use and resharpening of the entire blade.
• Peeling knife – This practical knife, with its short curved cutting edge, is particularly useful for peeling and cleaning round fruits and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which reduces food waste.
• Handle – The African grenadilla wood handle panels are permanently riveted and assembled without gaps. The water-resistant wood is extremely hygienic and comes from controlled cultivation.
• Fluted blade – When cutting, small air pockets form at the blade's hollows. This has the positive effect 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 through a hard crust just as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. The difference compared to conventional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
Dishwasher use is not recommended.
