Durable, top-of-the-range Ikon forged knives

This Wüsthof 1090570602 set includes 6 knives with X50CrMoV15 stainless steel blades. This alloy is widely used in cutlery because of its high strength and resistance to shock and corrosion. Its hardness of around 58 HRC ensures a long-lasting, razor-sharp edge that's easy to maintain.

Blades are forged from a single piece of steel. It is heated to a very high temperature and then worked with a press to form the blades. This technique demands precision and expertise from the brand's cutlers to produce sturdy, full-silk blades.

These knives also feature a double bolster for excellent balance in the hand. The weight of each knife is evenly distributed front and back. Their guard is also developed to ensure safe use: your fingers won't slip on the blade.

All 6 kitchen knives feature African grenadilla wood handles. This is a rare and luxurious species that comes from regulated, sustainable forestry. This very dense wood gives your knives sturdiness and water-resistance.

The wood is pressed against the knife blade by three solid rivets for great stability. As grenadilla is a living material, each knife is unique and may differ slightly from the models shown here. The grain and hue depend on the piece of wood used.

The oval-shaped handles fit your hand perfectly, guaranteeing comfort and ergonomics even over time. In fact, they reduce the fatigue of intensive use for effortless cutting.

A practical, elegant storage unit

This knife block is made from ash, a hard-wearing wood that colors easily. Ash is widely used in the kitchen thanks to its properties. Its brown color is an elegant echo of knife handles, and complements a wide range of decorations. The block stands on a stable, sober aluminum support.

With its 6 slots, the block allows you to store each knife perfectly. Each slot corresponds to one knife. Thanks to the block, all your knives are stored in the same place on your worktop, so they're always ready when you need them.

The slots ensure safe storage of your knives. Blades won't get damaged or bump into each other. As the blades are protected, you also avoid injury when you're not using the knives.

This superb block of kitchen knives is suitable for both amateur and professional cooks.
