WÜSTHOF Classic IKON 5 Santoku Knife

The Wusthof Classic Ikon hollow-ground santoku is a versatile knife that combines the functionality of a cooks knife and a vegetable cleaver. With its finely crafted design, this knife excels at chopping, slicing, and dicing. The kullened edge of the blade allows food to release easily and reduces friction, making cutting a smooth and effortless task.

The Classic Ikon features a combined riveted handle design with a contoured shape that provides comfort and control during use. Additionally, a rear bolster acts as a counterbalance, enhancing blade control. The unique forward bolster allows for sharpening the complete length of the blade and is curved inwards to provide greater finger control while holding the knife. This attention to detail and ergonomic design makes the Classic Ikon a standout choice for culinary enthusiasts.

Founded in 1814 in Solingen, Germany, Wusthof has a rich history and continues to be a family-owned company. Specializing in the manufacturing of forged knives for both professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts, Wusthof utilizes a special blend of German steel for the entire length of the knife. The company is dedicated to precise tempering, ensuring that each blade holds its edge for an extended period while remaining easy to maintain at home.

The Classic Ikon 5-Inch Santoku Hollow Edge Knife from the Classic Ikon series features a sleek black handle with a double bolster for exceptional balance and beauty. The blade is forged from a single block of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC, utilizing Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) to achieve a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention of previous models. With a 10-degree cutting edge and a hollow edge crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations, the Santoku knife provides a straighter edge and creates small air pockets between the blade and the food.

Crafted to withstand corrosion and dulling, Wusthof cutlery comes with a limited lifetime warranty. With a reputation built on centuries of tradition and quality, Wusthof is committed to delivering exceptional products that meet the strictest quality standards.
