The blades of the Wüsthof Ikon series are forged from a single piece of stainless steel (chrome molybdenum vanadium) and are permanently extremely sharp thanks to the special Wüsthof PEtec technology. They are characterized by high resilience and long service life. The handles of the knives made of African grenadilla wood are water-repellent and feel pleasantly warm in the hand. Occasional oiling with household oils keeps them supple. *Handwash Recommended *PTEC Technology *NSF Certified *Made in Germany The all-rounder: for mincing, chopping, or cutting meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables. This Chef’s Knife is an active participant in many kitchen tasks, makes food prepping pleasurable, and is part of every professional and home cook’s basic equipment. The half bolster, the junction between handle and blade, reduces the weight of the knife, making it easier to handle. It also allows the entire blade to be sharpened more easily.
