Wüsthof Classic Ikon 6-Piece Starter Knife Block Set

Wüsthof Classic Ikon 6-Piece Starter Knife Block Set

Building a Classic Ikon kitchen starts well with this Wüsthof starter block set of six pieces. Three core knives come with shears and a honing rod in an acacia block.

The chef’s knife does the chopping and slicing, and the bread knife saws through crusty loaves and ripe tomatoes. A small paring knife peels and trims in the hand. Regular honing on the steel keeps them cutting cleanly, and ten open slots leave room to add a santoku or steak knives.

Classic Ikon knives have a curved handle and a half bolster that leaves the heel of the blade free, so the edge can be sharpened right to the back. A rear bolster on the handle balances the knife in the hand.

For more knives from the start, the Classic Ikon 8-piece block set swaps the bread knife for a flat cut paring knife and two utility knives. The chef’s and paring knives here can be bought separately. Find the Classic Ikon 8-inch chef’s knife or the Classic Ikon 3.5-inch paring knife. For ideas on what comes next, our knife shapes guide is a good place to look.

Care

Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal. Wipe the block with a damp cloth, and make sure each knife is dry before it goes back in the slot.
