Their efficiency, ease of handling...everything is designed to help you enjoy every cut!
The blades of each of these knives are made of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, an alloy renowned for its good ratio between efficiency and ease of maintenance. For example, it contains 15% chromium to help combat corrosion, while its carbon content is 0.5%. It also contains high levels of molybdenum and vanadium, for impact resistance and elasticity (so that knives are less brittle). The final hardness of the knives reaches 58 HRC, so you can sharpen them easily with a good sharpening gun.
The knives in the range are forged: they are designed from a solid piece of steel shaped at high temperature. The blade also extends to the end of the handle, increasing the balance of the piece. The knives feel "fuller" in the hand, and are all the more solid because there are no welding points.
The handles are made of black POM, a strong, durable polymer that is pleasant to the touch and suitable for both right- and left-handed users. It is completed by 3 stainless steel rivets, for a firm hold of the materials together. The steel base completes the balance of the knives and ensures an exemplary finish.
The vacuum block is also an important element: it allows you to store your knives neatly, efficiently and elegantly. Both the materials chosen to manufacture it and the design line elaborated to conceive it have a single objective: to provide you with an exceptional piece of equipment while guaranteeing you an optimized kitchen.
It is made of light beech wood, with a unique grain. This particular species of wood is renowned for its hardness - it's a wood made to last! It's also known to be resistant to bacteria, a positive point for kitchen storage. What's more, it has been heat-treated to make it even more robust.
Powerful magnets have been integrated into the center to hold your Classic Ikon knives. It's a very practical system, since it's a breeze to place and grip! In fact, all you have to do is place the blades on the surface of the block to immobilize them! What's more, the knives remain fully visible, allowing you to show them off just as easily as you can distinguish them and choose the right function at a glance. Up to 12 knives can be placed on the block, allowing you to complete the block with other knives from the range!
The base of the block is made of stainless steel. Its design terminates in a round, stable base. The combination of materials creates a beautiful contrast. It even becomes a decorative element on your worktop, and can become a great gift for a knife enthusiast!
