Classic Ikon Series Features: Wusthof spent years developing
a new design to improve upon their world-favorite Classic family of knives and
eventually created the Classic Ikon family. Every Wusthof Classic Ikon knife is
still forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure
outstanding strength, balance and heft. The changes Wusthof made include moving
some of the metal in the bolster to the heel of the handle to improve balance
and ergonomics. This also allows the entire edge of the blade to be sharpened.
The Classic Ikon black handles are now also ergonomic and still made of
synthetic material triple riveted to the full tang for a seamless and hygienic
fit. Not only comfortable to hold, but the skillfully honed by hand blades are
also incredibly sharp, and are easily resharpened.
