Wüsthof Ikon series

Forged luxury. Every knife has a unique pattern. Sharp blade and premium wood.
With their special qualities, the Ikon series knives are a delight for the holidays. The handle, riveted securely with selected (sustainably harvested) African grenadilla wood (Dalbergia melanoxylon), is striking and every piece has a unique pattern. Thanks to its water-resistant and hygienic properties, this special wood is particularly suitable for kitchen use. At the same time, the handle is naturally warm to the touch and ergonomically shaped, making it a pleasure to hold and use. The unique geometry with double bolster fits well in the hand, ensures optimal balance and provides even cuts, even over longer periods. Thanks to the half bolster, the knife is lighter, which allows energy-saving work. The design also allows the entire blade to be used and sharpened. 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 through the full length of the handle (full tang). The final finishing by the experienced Wüsthof craftsmen, done by hand, provides exceptional 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. This allows energy-saving work. The design also allows the whole blade to be used and re-sharpened.
• Paring knife - The practical knife with its short, curved cutting edge is particularly suitable for peeling and trimming round fruit and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which reduces food waste.
• Handle - The African grenadilla wood handle scales 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 indentations. 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 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 not recommended.
