\"\nThe Wüsthof Classic Ikon series combines perfect ergonomics, excellent balance and exceptional performance for a true culinary experience. With its modern design and contoured handle, this razor-sharp cook’s knife is the one you will reach for time and time again.\nThe all-rounder in the kitchen -The Wüsthof Classic Ikon 8” Cook’s Knife is the most important tool in the kitchen and makes food preparation quick and simple. As part of every professional chef and home cook’s basic equipment, this cook’s knife is designed to handle any task including mincing, chopping, cutting meat, fish, fruit or vegetables.\nEach Classic Ikon Knife is forged from a single block of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58° Rockwell Hardness for lasting edge retention, integral blade strength, and ease of maintenance. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention for a knife that will last a lifetime. Wash by hand only.\nThe knife’s black contoured handle rests comfortably in the hand while the small curvatures along the grip ensure a secure hold while prepping food. The handle is made from a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The half bolster allows for the knife to be honed and sharpened the entire length of the blade while the heel bolster provides added balance.\nFamily owned for seven generations, Wüsthof was founded in Solingen, Germany over 200 years ago. Wüsthof’s cutlery carries the Solingen name, a designation reserved for products that meet the strictest quality standards.\nincluded components: Kitchen Knife\n› See more product details\"
