Classic Ikon knives from Wusthof feature a distinctive, double-bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance and distinctive beauty. The half bolster allows for the knife to be honed and sharpened the entire length of the blade while the heel bolster provides added balance. The elegant, ergonomic handle is made of a highly durable synthetic material - Polyoxymethylene (POM) - which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. Each Classic Ikon knife is precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon stainless steel, tempered to 58 degrees Rockwell, with a full tang that is triple riveted to the handle for precise control. Wusthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) produces a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention.

The Classic Ikon 7" hollow-ground santoku knife is designed with a thinner blade than the traditional chef's knife, with a 10-degree cutting edge, and gradually curves up at the very end providing a straighter edge. The hollow edge is crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations, which create small air pockets between the blade and the food. These small air pockets gently push food off the blade and reduce friction and drag. This knife allows cooks to effortlessly prep a wide array of fresh produce, including starchy vegetables like potatoes, which tend to stick to a knife's blade.
