Knife set of 6 Wüsthof Ikon forged steak knives 12cm with leather pouch

The Wüsthof Ikon set of 6 forged steak knives is an original and elegant gift to give or to treat yourself!

Highly sharp and robust blade

The 1060560601 box contains 6 knives with a 12cm blade in X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, an alloy widely used in cutlery because of its resistance to corrosion and shock. The blades have a razor-sharp edge, and the final polishing has been done by hand and controlled using Wüsthof PEtec technology. Your knives will cut all meats effortlessly, cleanly and with respect for their fibers. With a hardness of 58 HRC, the blades are easy to maintain with a stone.

The 6 blades have also been forged by Wüsthof cutlers, making them extremely robust. Forging involves heating a piece of steel to a very high temperature, then shaping it with a press. This operation requires a great deal of precision and know-how, and gives you reliable full tang blades.

To ensure that your knives are perfectly balanced in the hand, they feature a double stainless steel bolster to distribute their weight evenly. The bolster also acts as a junction between the blade and the handle. Last but not least, their guard is slightly marked to protect your fingers from the blade. You can use your knives in complete safety.

6 different handles in top-quality woods

Each smooth-blade steak knife has a different handle made from a rare and luxurious species of wood:

- Curly birch from Scandinavia: this is a very light wood with a slightly darker grain;

- Mexican rosewood: an orange-brown wood with a beautiful dark grain;

- African grenadilla: this wood has a dark, almost black color with a lighter grain;

- Canadian bird's-eye maple: a very light-colored wood whose grain resembles small dark spots;

- Brazilian Rosewood: a beautiful cream color punctuated by orange veining;

- American walnut: this wood has a grayish-purple hue with a highly grained heartwood.

Each of the above woods comes from a regulated sustainable exploitation. They are iconic species from different regions of the world, which is what makes this box so original. It's also important to note that the visuals of the knives you receive may differ slightly from the models presented above, as wood is a living material. Your knives are unique pieces.

The wooden inserts are securely fastened to the knife blade with three stainless steel rivets for even greater strength and stability.

The oval-shaped handles provide an ergonomic and comfortable grip, even for intensive use. The oval shape has the advantage of reducing fatigue associated with long use. These knives are ideal for both private and professional use.

An elegant leather pouch for your knives

A superb leather sheath protects your knives when not in use. Entirely hand-sewn to the highest standards, it's made from top-quality leather. Wüsthof's experts use only natural tanning agents and fats, giving the pouch a distinctive, authentic look. Thanks to this process, the typical leather patina naturally shines through over time.

6 compartments in the pouch protect the blades from each other, preventing them from colliding and becoming damaged. To ensure that the handles are perfectly protected too, a flap is provided to cover them. Protection and safety are assured.

The pouch closes with a buckle when folded, making it a real collector's item. The Wüsthof logo is subtly stamped on the outside of the pouch, as is the brand name on the inside.

This pouch of 6 steak knives is an original gift idea for all meat lovers or lovers of top-of-the-range knives. What's more, these knives can be used every day as table knives!
