Wüsthof Ikon series

Forged luxury. Each knife has a unique pattern. Sharp blade and premium wood.
With their special characteristics, the Ikon series knives are a festive experience. The handle, made of selected (sustainably cultivated) African granadilla (Dalbergia melanoxylon), is permanently riveted, and each piece has a unique pattern. Thanks to the special wood’s water-resistant and hygienic properties, it is particularly suitable for kitchen use. At the same time, it feels naturally and comfortably warm and has an ergonomic shape, making it a pleasure to hold and use. The unique geometry with double bolster fits well in the hand, guarantees optimal balance and even cutting, even over longer periods. Thanks to the half bolster, the knife is lighter thanks to its thinner bolster construction, allowing energy-efficient work. The design also allows the full 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, characterized by high robustness and durability. The blade runs through the entire handle (full tang). Final hand finishing by Wüsthof’s experienced specialists provides extreme sharpness and quick, easy 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. The design also allows the full blade to be used and resharpened.
• Paring knife – The practical knife with a short, curved cutting edge is especially well suited for peeling and cleaning round fruits and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which reduces food waste.
• Handle – The granadilla wood handle scales are permanently riveted and assembled without gaps. The water-resistant wood is extremely hygienic and comes from controlled cultivation.
• Fluted blade – Cavities along the blade create small air pockets when cutting. This means 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 fruits such as pumpkin. The difference compared to conventional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
Dishwasher use is not recommended.
