Uncompromising German Engineering

Each Classic Ikon knife is precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring exceptional strength and durability. Wusthof's proprietary PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) creates a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention of other knives. This means your knives will stay sharper for longer, providing clean, effortless cuts.

The signature feature of the Classic Ikon series is the double-bolster design. The half-bolster between the blade and handle allows for sharpening the entire length of the blade, while the second bolster at the end of the handle provides additional balance, making the knife feel like an extension of your hand.

Designed for Comfort and Control

The handles of Classic Ikon knives are crafted from a durable synthetic material called Polyoxymethylene (POM), which is resistant to fading and discoloration. The ergonomic, contoured shape of the handle fits comfortably in your hand, reducing fatigue during extended use. The full tang construction, where the steel extends the entire length of the handle, is triple-riveted for superior balance and control.

The Beauty and Durability of Acacia

The included knife block is made from acacia wood, a material known for its natural beauty, durability, and resistance to moisture. This not only protects your blades but also adds a touch of elegance to your countertop. The 15-slot design provides ample space to grow your Wusthof collection.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Wusthof knives, it is recommended to hand wash them with warm, soapy water and dry them immediately. While the handle material is durable, dishwashing is not recommended as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the blade and handle over time. Regular use of the honing steel will keep your blades in optimal condition between professional sharpenings. Wusthof provides a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.
