Further manufacturer information:
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 an endlessly sharp blade in a timeless design. Before sharpening, every blade is laser-guided using Wüsthof's patented PEtec process. This ensures the best edge angle for the best possible cutting sharpness. The 58 HRC blade, forged from a single piece of stainless X50CrMoV15 steel, runs through the handle, is extremely sharp and stays sharp 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 a special synthetic material and are permanently triple-riveted, seamlessly joined, so they are 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. Moreover, the Classic Ikon is a tool used by the German National Culinary Team.
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series is NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certified for public health and food safety.
• Double bolster geometry – Balance and ergonomics – the special geometry with a double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife therefore fits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster – Thanks to its thinner support structure the knife is lighter. This allows 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. The wide, long blade is excellent for bread and cakes.
• Precision double-serrated edge – The bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crust as easily as soft bread or large fruit such as pumpkin. It stays sharp for longer and requires less effort when cutting. The difference compared with a traditional serrated edge is immediately noticeable.
• Paring knife – This practical knife with its short, curved cutting edge is especially suitable 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 ribbing ensures that thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
