Opt for versatility in the kitchen with the 16cm Wüsthof Ikon chef knife!
A blade for a wide range of foods
With its 16cm blade, this 1010530116 chef's knife is ideal for cutting boneless meats, fruit, vegetables, fish and herbs. This versatile blade is made of robust, corrosion-resistant X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. This alloy has an average hardness of 58 HRC, guaranteeing a razor-sharp edge that is durable and easy to maintain over time.
The knife blade has also been forged by Wüsthof. It is forged from a single piece of steel at very high temperatures, using a press. Forging requires great skill and precision from the German brand's knifemakers to guarantee a robust, full tang blade.
A double bolster contributes to the knife's balance, joining the blade to the handle. To ensure safe use of the knife, the guard is slightly marked to protect your fingers from the risk of cuts.
Luxury African grenadilla wood handle
The Wüsthof chef's knife features a high-quality handle made from African grenadilla, a rare, high-end wood whose exploitation is regulated to ensure sustainability. Grenadilla's high density makes it extremely strong and resistant to humidity.
African grenadilla wood gives your knife a unique look. In fact, this wood is a living material whose darker hue and lighter veining depend on nature, not the hand of man.
The oval shape of the chef's knife handle is both comfortable to hold and ergonomic. Indeed, this shape has the advantage of reducing fatigue due to long use. This makes this chef's knife ideal for both private and professional use.
Three rivets ensure the knife's excellent stability, giving you absolute control during use. They press the grenadilla against the knife blade, reinforcing its solidity.
To clean your knife, do not use a dishwasher. Clean with a soft sponge and a little washing-up liquid, then rinse well. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
