Wusthof Ikon Classic knives are fully forged form a single piece of steel.
They are hand honed and laser finished to provide a professional quality piece of equipment.
This is an exhaustive process and includes over 40 separate demanding steps!
Wusthof have been making knives since 1814, during this time they have accrued a great deal of knowledge, refined their techniques, and invested in state of the art technologies.
The result is a very large range of truly professional quality knives - all carrying the Wusthof Trident logo - a guarantee of authenticity.
Wusthof Ikon Classic Knives - the blade
Wusthof's fine, professional quality blades are forged from a single billet of high carbon, corrosion resistant X50crMoV15 stainless steel.
The edges are hand honed twice by craftsmen, and the manufacturing process is completed with a final laser controlled checking and finishing stage.
The finger guard/bolster is gently curved for comfort, its' modern design features a shortened bolster, which makes it easier to sharpen the full length of the blade, right up to the heel.
Wusthof Ikon Classic Knives - the handle
Wusthof Ikon Classic knives have very comfortable, ergonomically designed handles, which are curved to fit in the hand more naturally.
They are a little longer to give better balance, and have a secondary bolster at the end of the handle, to improve balance even further.
The handle scales are made from hygienic, pore free, black POM.
Wusthof Ikon Classic Knives - care and use - their handles are made from POM and may be put in a dishwasher, but hand washing is always preferable.
