Wüsthof Classic Ikon series
Extreme precision with perfect ergonomics. Black and elegant. Agile and robust. The Classic Ikon series combines perfect ergonomics, excellent balance and endlessly sharp blades in a timeless design. Before sharpening, each blade is laser-sharpened using Wüsthof's patented PEtec process. This ensures the best edge angle for the best possible cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC single-piece forged stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade runs through the handle, is extremely sharp, and remains so for a very long time. The special construction makes cutting, slicing, chopping and portioning easier. Thanks to their special shape, the knives are well balanced and their ergonomic handles are comfortable to grip. The handle panels are made of special synthetic material and are triple-riveted without joints, making them completely hygienic and easy to handle. The handle end is decorated with a laser-engraved Wüsthof logo. Recommended for everyday, effortless kitchen use for home cooks and professional chefs alike. Moreover, the Classic Ikon is a tool used by the German National Culinary Team. The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series holds NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification.
• Double support geometry - Balance and ergonomics: the special geometry with a double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife fits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster - Thanks to the thinner support construction, the knife is lighter. This enables energy-saving work. The design also allows use of the full blade and resharpening.
• Wavy edge - The internally formed wavy edge gives clean cuts and is suitable for large fruit, vegetables or roasts. With its wide, long blade it is excellent for bread and cakes.
• Precision double-serrated edge - The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts a hard crust as easily as soft bread, or large fruit such as pumpkin. It stays sharp longer, requiring less effort when cutting. The difference from a conventional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• 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.
• Nakiri - This knife has an exceptionally thin, Asian-style blade and is extremely sharp, with a 20° edge angle. The fluting ensures that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
