Wüsthof Ikon series

Forged luxury. Every knife has a unique pattern. A sharp blade and premium-quality wood.

With their special qualities, Ikon knives make every occasion a celebration. The durably riveted handle, made of selected, sustainably grown African blackwood (grenadill, Dalbergia melanoxylon), is striking, and every piece has a unique pattern. The water-resistant and hygienic properties of this special wood make it particularly suitable for kitchen use. At the same time, the natural, pleasantly warm, ergonomically shaped handle is a real pleasure to hold and use. The unique geometry with a double bolster fits the hand well, guarantees optimum balance and ensures even cutting, even over longer periods. Thanks to the half bolster the knife is lighter, which allows effortless work. The design also allows the entire blade to be used and sharpened. The blade is forged from a single piece of high-quality X50CrMoV15 stainless steel with a 29° edge angle and is highly robust and durable. The blade runs through the full length of the handle (full tang). Final finishing done by hand by experienced Wüsthof craftsmen gives exceptional sharpness and fast, easy cutting.

• Double bolster geometry: balance and ergonomics. The special geometry with a double bolster ensures balanced handling, so the knife fits the hand well and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster: the slimmer bolster construction makes the knife lighter, allowing effortless work. The design also allows the entire blade to be used and resharpened.
• Handle: the African blackwood handle scales are durably riveted and fitted without gaps. The water-resistant wood is extremely hygienic and comes from controlled cultivation.
