Forged luxury. Every knife has a unique pattern. Sharp blade and premium-quality wood.
With their special properties, the Ikon series knives make the festive season an experience. The handle, made from selected (sustainably grown) African grenadilla wood (Dalbergia melanoxylon), is permanently riveted and each piece has a unique pattern. The special wood is water-resistant and hygienic, making it particularly suitable for kitchen use. Yet it is natural, pleasantly warm to the touch and ergonomically shaped, a real pleasure to hold and use. The unique double-bolster geometry 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 enables energy-efficient work. Moreover, the design allows use of the full blade and resharpening. The blade is forged from a single piece of high-quality stainless X50CrMoV15 steel, with a 29° edge angle, and is characterised by a high level of robustness and durability. The blade runs full tang through the handle. Final hand finishing by Wüsthof's experienced specialists ensures extraordinary sharpness and quick, simple cutting.
• 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, the knife is lighter. This enables energy-efficient work. Moreover, the design allows use and resharpening of the full blade.
• Paring knife – the 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.
• 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.
• Ribbed blade – when cutting, small air pockets form in the blade's indentations. This means thin or soft foods are more easily released from the blade during use and do not stick.
• 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 to traditional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
Dishwasher use is not recommended.
