Experience the Classic Ikon - Wüsthof's Most Refined Cook's Knife
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Cook's Knife 20cm takes everything that makes the Classic legendary and refines it - a more ergonomic handle, a double-bolster design for perfect balance, and the same PEtec-sharpened X50CrMoV15 steel that has made Wüsthof the choice of professional chefs since 1814.
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
Bolster: Half bolster at blade for easy full-length sharpening + end bolster for handle balance
Manufacturing: Forged - Solingen, Germany
The Ikon Difference
The Classic Ikon's defining feature is its double-bolster design - a half bolster at the blade that allows the entire edge to be sharpened all the way to the tip, and a second bolster at the end of the handle that adds weight and counterbalance for a more natural, fatigue-free grip. The ergonomically shaped handle sits more comfortably in the hand than the Classic's traditional profile, making it the preferred choice for cooks who spend long hours at the board. The PEtec edge is laser-controlled and ground to a precise 14° on each side - sharper out of the box and longer-lasting than conventionally sharpened knives. Forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 steel in Solingen, Germany.
