Styled after the Japanese cook's knife, this knife is perfect for preparing not only fine Asian but also Western cuisine.

Based on the best-selling Wusthof Classic Series, each Wusthof Classic Ikon knife is drop forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel. The knife blade is skilfully honed by hand to an incredibly sharp edge, the entire length of which can be sharpened due to the partial bolster. The blade is ground thinner than usual, so there is less resistance when chopping and slicing.

• Japanese santoku knife
• Hollow edge creates pockets of air which prevent extra thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade
• Specialised high-carbon, stain-resistant alloy ensures that the cutting edge of the knife is both razor sharp and easy to resharpen
• Tempered to an optimal Rockwell 58° hardness
• Computer controlled grinding and polishing of the blade ensures that there is a perfect tapering from bolster to tip providing you with a knife with maximum strength, balance and heft

Specifications

• Blade length: 17cm
• Handle length: 10.9cm

Product Care

• We recommend that, after each use, you wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use
