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-sharpened using Wüsthof's patented PEtec process, so the optimal edge angle delivers the best possible cutting sharpness. The stainless X50CrMoV15 steel blade, forged from a single piece with 58 HRC hardness, runs through the handle, is extremely sharp and stays that way 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 fit comfortably in the hand. The handle panels are made of a special synthetic material and are permanently triple-riveted without seams, 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. What is more, Classic Ikon is a tool used by the German National Culinary Team.
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series holds 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 sits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster – Thanks to the slimmer support construction the knife is lighter. This allows energy-saving work. The design also allows use of the entire blade and resharpening.
• Wavy edge – The internally formed wavy edge gives clean cuts and suits 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 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.
• Peeling 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.
• Nakiri – This knife has an exceptionally thin, Asian-style blade and an extremely sharp 20° edge angle. The fluting ensures thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick.
