Wüsthof Ikon knives have forged blades
These Wüsthof knives are top-of-the-range kitchen knives. They feature a blade in X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, an alloy renowned for its resistance to shock and corrosion. The alloy achieves a hardness of around 58 HRC on the Rockwell scale, giving you blades with long-lasting sharpness that's easy to sharpen with a water stone.
These blades have also been forged from a single piece of steel. Forging requires great skill and expertise on the part of Wüsthof blacksmiths. The blades are formed using a press at very high temperatures. This process ensures solid , full-silk blades.
The double bolster is the link between the handle and the blade. This type of bolster gives the knife great balance by distributing its weight front and back. A wide guard also ensures safe use by protecting your fingers from the blade.
A rare, top-of-the-range African grenadilla handle
These knives feature a handle made from African grenadilla wood. This is a rare, high-quality species whose exploitation is strictly regulated. Wüsthof obtains this wood from sustainable sources. African grenadilla has a high density, making it very strong and providing excellent resistance to humidity.
The oval-shaped handle gives you a very good grip. It's also very comfortable to use, especially over long periods, as it reduces the feeling of fatigue.
It also features three stainless steel rivets that press the grenadilla against the knives' full tang blade. This gives the knives great stability, so you have perfect control when cutting.
It's important to note that grenadilla, like all woods, is a living material, which means that the visual appearance of your knives may differ from those shown here. With their black hue and lighter grain, Ikon knives are highly elegant, one-of-a-kind knives.
We recommend that you clean your knives with a soft sponge and washing-up liquid in lukewarm water. Once you've finished washing them, dry them immediately before storing.
The knives in this set 1070560302 are designed for both experienced amateur cooks and catering professionals.
