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, so the best edge angle delivers the best possible cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC, single-piece forged stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade runs through the handle, is extremely sharp and stays so for a very long time. The special design makes cutting, slicing, chopping and portioning easier. Thanks to their special shape, the knives are well balanced and their ergonomic handles are comfortable to hold. The handle panels are made of a special synthetic material, permanently riveted three times, seamlessly fitted, 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 by home cooks and professional chefs alike. What's more: Classic Ikon is a tool used by the German National Culinary Team.
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series has NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) public health and food safety certification.
• Dual-bolster 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 structure, the knife is lighter. This enables energy-efficient work. The design also allows the full blade to be used and resharpened.
• Wavy edge – the internally formed wavy edge gives a clean cut and is suitable for large fruits, 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 hard crusts as easily as soft bread or large fruits such as pumpkin. It stays sharp longer and requires less effort when cutting. The difference compared with a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Paring knife – the practical knife with a short, curved cutting edge is especially useful for peeling and cleaning round fruits 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 grooving ensures that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick.
