Wusthof Classic Ikon Knives
Wusthof Classic Ikon knives have some very distinct and highly regarded design innovations. First, the bolster on the Cook's Knife has been modified for ease of sharpening. There is a steel end cap (referred to as a second, or double bolster) that assists in balance and aesthetics. The POM handle has a unique humpback design that snugs nicely into the palm creating a very firm and comfortable grip. Perfect distal tapering and laser guided sharpening techniques are a result of precise German engineering and robot-assisted construction. The steel is tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 58 that is easily maintained with use of a fine-cut honing rod. Wusthof remains a family owned and operated company after 200 years. Manufactured in Solingen, German, these knives come with a full lifetime warranty.

Wüsthof Classic Ikon 5-inch Hollow Edge Santoku
Five inches of santoku on a Classic Ikon handle makes a small, quick knife for herbs, a single pepper or a few cloves of garlic. Its size suits a compact board or smaller hands, and it lives comfortably beside a larger chef’s knife. On the cutting board, it is a good alternative to a utility knife, with far more knuckle clearance.Shallow hollows ground into the blade keep wet produce from clinging, and the fine edge suits precise slicing. We recommend Classic Ikon to cooks who hold a knife fully by the handle, since the rounded grip fills the palm. Its bare heel is another advantage, because a sharpener can reach every inch of the edge. A short blade is also forgiving as you build confidence.For larger produce, the Classic Ikon 7-inch hollow edge santoku is the full-size version. The Classic 5-inch santoku sets this blade in the riveted Classic handle, and the Classic Ikon 4.5-inch utility knife is a narrower option for slicing. Our knife shapes guide explains the santoku.
