Forged from one piece of high carbon stainless steel, the Wusthof Ikon series features a full tang to add balance and weight. The new Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) offers an exceptional cutting performance and superior long-lasting sharpness. Each knife features a computer controlled cutting edge to ensure the blade is precise and uniform from the tip to the heel of the knife. Wusthof knives feature a 14° tapered cutting edge on each side which reduces drag when slicing through foods. Each knife blade is completely buffed and polished by hand. The triple-riveted handle features a double bolster adding heft, producing a perfectly balanced and comfortable feel. Luxurious and elegant, Ikon will perform all your cutting tasks effortlessly.
