Expert recommendation:
"This exclusive, distinctly elegant knife set is truly a sight to behold, although its real value is revealed only to users who are at home in food preparation. The beautifully curved edges are made for featherlight movements, offering a special cutting experience to the practised hand. Thanks to the forging technology and the special heat treatment – above all hardening – even the hair-fine edges have outstanding edge retention. We recommend it primarily to those who already have sufficient experience with quality forged knives and who appreciate extravagant design elements. Its quality, its packaging and the dominant soft shade of white make it a worthy and enchanting gift, and it is popular as a memorable, special gift for unique occasions such as wedding presents."

Professional forged Classic Ikon Creme series stepped knife block, 6-piece. Excellently balanced, ergonomically tested and developed. Recommended for professionals in various areas of gastronomy, chefs and pastry chefs, and also an excellent tool for home use.
Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme series: the light alternative for the modern kitchen. Elegant design. Outstanding functionality. With its cream-coloured handle, the Classic Ikon knives are not only special on the knife market but a truly eye-catching sight in any kitchen. The special synthetic handle panels, like those of the black Classic Ikon, are satin-finished, permanently riveted and assembled without gaps, meeting the highest hygiene requirements. Thanks to the innovative bolster geometry and the ergonomic, smooth shape of the handle, the knife sits perfectly balanced in the hand and is easy to use. The laser-sharpened, 58 HRC single-piece forged stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade runs the full length of the handle and, with its 30° edge angle, is extremely sharp and stays that way for a very long time. The PEtec laser-controlled process is also used to create the perfect edge, and the final work is done by hand by Wüsthof's experienced specialists for maximum sharpness. The various blade shapes guarantee precise cutting. The special design makes cutting, slicing, chopping and portioning easier.
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme series holds the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) public health and food safety certification.
• 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 the slimmer support structure, the knife is lighter in weight. This allows energy-efficient work. The design also allows use of the full blade and resharpening.
• Handle end with logo – The riveted ergonomic handle ensures a perfect grip, and the handle end is decorated with an elegant laser-engraved Wüsthof logo.
• Paring knife – The practical knife with a short, curved cutting edge is particularly good for peeling and cleaning round fruits and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which reduces food waste.
• Fluted blade – Cutting creates small air pockets in the blade's recesses. This has the positive effect 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 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.
