This 20cm Ikon chef knife from Wüsthof is a top-of-the-range kitchen essential!
A long, versatile and robust stainless steel blade
The 1010530120 knife has a 20cm blade ideal for cutting a wide range of large foods: fruit, vegetables, herbs, fish and boneless meat. Made from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, the blade resists shock and corrosion. The alloy has an average hardness of 58 HRC, giving you a razor-sharp edge that's long-lasting and easy to sharpen.
The knife blade has been forged to be highly robust. Wüsthof's expert knifemakers heat the blade to a very high temperature in a single piece of steel, then shape it with a press. This method requires great meticulousness. Forging also produces a full tang blade.
For excellent balance, the knife is fitted with a double stainless steel bolster that distributes its weight evenly over the front and back. The knife's guard is also slightly marked to prevent your fingers from slipping on the blade. Safe to use.
A luxurious, ergonomic oval handle
This chef's knife features a handle made from African grenadilla, a rare high-end wood from a regulated sustainable forest. This very dense wood gives the handle moisture resistance and strength.
Like all woods, grenadilla allows you to enjoy a unique knife whose visual appearance may differ slightly from the model shown. The shade and grain are specific to the piece of wood used.
The oval shape of the handle gives you an ideal, comfortable grip over time. In fact, this shapeavoids the risk of fatigue caused by intensive use. This forged chef's knife is suitable for both domestic and professional kitchens.
The knife is very stable in use, thanks to the three stainless steel rivets that press the handle against the full tang blade. The rivets also enhance its solidity.
The knife should be cleaned by hand using a non-abrasive sponge and a little washing-up liquid. Be sure to dry the knife thoroughly after washing.
