WÜSTHOF Classic IKON 5 Santoku Knife

The WÜSTHOF CLASSIC IKON knives are renowned for their distinctive, double bolster design, which provides professional-style heft, exceptional balance, and beauty. Crafted from Polyoxymethylene (POM), a highly durable synthetic material with a tight molecular structure to prevent fading and discoloration, the handle is elegantly shaped for a comfortable grip.

Part of the WÜSTHOF CLASSIC IKON SERIES, these knives feature a sleek black handle with a double bolster, ensuring exceptional balance, beauty, and an unparalleled cutting experience. They are the epitome of design, ergonomics, and quality perfected.

Each knife is precision-forged from a single block of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) used in the manufacturing process results in a blade that is 20% sharper and retains its edge twice as long as previous models.

The CLASSIC IKON 5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is designed with a thinner blade than a traditional chef's knife, featuring a 10-degree cutting edge and a gradual curve at the end for a straighter edge. The hollow edge is crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations, creating small air pockets between the blade and the food.

With a history spanning over 200 years, WÜSTHOF is a family-owned company that has been passed down through seven generations. Founded in Solingen, Germany, WÜSTHOF's cutlery holds the Solingen name, a designation reserved for products that meet the strictest quality standards.
