Wüsthof' s Ikon Chinese chef's knife for top-quality food preparation!
An extra-high blade for a wide range of foods
The high blade of this Chinese chef's knife is ideal for cutting soft foods such as fruit, vegetables, herbs, boneless fish and raw meat without bones. Its use is more technical than that of a chef's knife or santoku knife, so this 1010531818 knife is aimed at experienced cooks, amateurs and professionals alike.
Measuring 18cm in length, the blade is made of robust, corrosion-resistant X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. With a hardness of nearly 58 HRC, the blade's razor-sharp edge is long-lasting and easy to maintain.
This blade is forged by Wüsthof from a single piece of steel using a press after being heated to very high temperatures. This technique demands precision and expertise from the brand's knifemakers, in order to offer you a sturdy full tang blade.
The Chinese chef's knife has excellent balance thanks to its double bolster, which distributes its weight evenly front and back. Finally, the height of the blade prevents your fingers from slipping on the edge for safe use.
A deluxe Western grenadilla wood handle
This Chinese chef's knife has an oval-shaped handle for ergonomic and comfortable use. Conforming to the shape of your hand, this Western handle shape reduces fatigue associated with intensive use. The knife is ideal for both professional and domestic use.
The handle is made from African grenadilla wood, a rare and luxurious species. Sustainably harvested and regulated, the handle gives the knife a unique visual appeal. In fact, its darker shade and lighter veining depend on which part of the wood is harvested. What's more, grenadilla is very dense, making the handle robust and resistant to wet conditions.
Three stainless steel rivets secure the wood inserts to the knife, ensuring perfect stability. So you have full control of your knife.
We recommend washing your knife by hand with a soft sponge, taking care not to run the handle under water. Then dry it well with a clean cloth.
