The Classic Ikon forged blade
This Wusthof 1040330123 chef's knife features an X50CrMoV15 stainless steel blade . This durable material is highly resistant to corrosion. Its 23cm size is perfect for cutting food. It's long enough to slice bulky vegetables, but short enough to be easy to handle.
The blade has undergone PEtec treatment . This is an innovative technology from Wüsthof. It involves laser treatment of the blade to give it enhanced properties. It becomes smoother, harder, sharper and even more resistant to corrosion. Between the blade and the handle is a specially redesigned bolster. It does not extend all the way to the cutting edge, allowing the cook touse the entire edge without discomfort.
However, the edge of chef's knives is thin. It is therefore not recommended for chopping.
The Wüsthof knife handle
The handle is made of polyoxymethylene or POM. This material is durable and resistant to stains and wear. It is also very light. This makes the knife easy to handle. The POM handle offers a very stable grip and is safer to use than wooden or metal handles. Easy to clean and maintain, a quick soak in soapy water is all it takes.
Don't wait any longer to try the Wüsthof Classic Ikon chef's knife, the best ally of professional chefs!
