Choose the 18cm Ikon forged chef knife from Wüsthof and make everyday kitchen chopping easier!
It has a sturdy forged blade and is extremely versatile.
This 1010530118 knife has an 18cm blade suitable for cutting a wide range of boneless foods: raw fish and meat, vegetables, fruit or herbs. It's a real jack-of-all-trades. The blade is made of corrosion- and impact-resistant X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. This stainless steel has an average hardness of 58 HRC for a razor-sharp edge that's easy to sharpen and long-lasting.
The knife blade is also forged by Wüsthof. The German brand's cutlers use a single block of steel, which they heat to a very high temperature and then shape with a press. This meticulous technique, requiring great expertise, guarantees a sturdy full tang blade.
The knife also features a double stainless steel bolster for excellent balance. The weight of the knife is evenly distributed front and back. With a slightly marked guard, the chef's knife is safe to use, as your fingers won't slip on the edge of the blade.
The chef's knife has a luxurious, comfortable handle
The knife's oval-shaped handle ensures great comfort andergonomics in use. The oval shape is designed to reduce fatigue associated with long use, as it ideally fits the shape of your hand.
In addition, the handle is made from the rare and luxurious African grenadilla wood. As this wood is very dense, the knife handle is extremely robust and watertight. For the sake of durability, grenadilla wood is harvested under controlled conditions.
Like all woods, grenadilla is a living material. As a result, its darker shade and lighter grain depend on the piece of wood Wüsthof takes. Your knife will look slightly different from the one presented here, but it will be a unique knife.
Three rivets securely fasten the grenadilla plates to the chef's knife. As a result, the knife's strength is enhanced and it's perfectly stable. You're in full control.
It's important to clean the knife by hand using a soft sponge, without wetting the handle. Dry the knife immediately after washing with a clean cloth to preserve it.
