Experience the Chinese Blade Shape in Wüsthof's Most Refined Steel
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Chinese Chopper Knife 18cm brings the broad, flat blade of the Chinese chef's knife together with the precision forging and PEtec edge technology of the Classic Ikon line - a blade that excels at the rocking chop, the push cut, and the wide-blade scoop that makes Chinese-style prep so efficient.
The Specs
Steel: X50CrMoV15 high-alloy steel, forged from a single piece - 58 HRC
Edge: PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) - double-ground to 14° each side
Note: Not suitable for cutting through bones - use a cleaver or butcher's knife for that
Manufacturing: Forged - Solingen, Germany
The Chinese Blade. German Precision.
The Chinese chopper's broad, rectangular blade is designed for the push-cut and rocking-chop techniques of Chinese cuisine - slicing through cabbage, herbs, and vegetables with the full width of the blade, then using the flat to scoop and transfer ingredients to the wok. Wüsthof's PEtec sharpening grinds the edge to a precise 14° on each side, delivering a finer, sharper edge than a traditional cleaver. The double-bolster Ikon handle provides ergonomic comfort and perfect balance for extended prep sessions. Forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 steel in Solingen, Germany.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash recommended - dishwasher safe but not recommended for longevity
Dry immediately after washing
Hone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the 14° edge
Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
Do not use on bones - this knife is not a cleaver
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
