Japanese Versatility.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Santoku's flatter blade profile excels at the up-and-down chopping motion, handling vegetables, proteins, and fruit with equal confidence - mincing herbs, slicing fish, and dicing onions with the same fluid efficiency. The hollow edge creates air pockets between blade and food, reducing drag and preventing thin slices from sticking to the blade. PEtec sharpening grinds the edge to a precise 14° on each side for a sharper, longer-lasting edge than conventionally sharpened knives. The Classic Ikon's ergonomic handle and double-bolster design deliver superior comfort and balance for extended prep sessions. Forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 steel in Solingen, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash recommended - dishwasher safe but not recommended for longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the 14° edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fackelmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54556205908259,"sku":"Santokuikon","price":223.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/4720E6D7-81FE-450E-949B-6CD439DC092F.webp?v=1765247472","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/wusthof-classic-ikon-santoku-knife-170mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
