Description

The Cooks knife is the workhorse knife in any kitchen. Designed for a the multiple tasks of chopping, dicing and mincing. Wusthof Classic Ikon Creme is a culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines. The combined riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape to add comfort and control. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife. This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. Located in The Cutlery Capital of the World, Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Throughout it’s history, Wusthof has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

This Wustof Knife is absolutely amazing. This knife has been a complete game changer in the kitchen. It is SOOOO sharp which makes cutting & chopping so much easier then I could have ever imagined. I did a lot of research before purchasing and was hesitant to spend this much money on a single knife but ever since I did, I primarily only use this one knife ! LOL ....The quality and craftsmanship really shine through and you can absolutely tell that it was handmade with care. It’s light enough which makes it easy to maneuver. I love the handle. It really feels great in your hand when you use it. The materials feel quality, sturdy and long lasting. It’s easy to clean and sharpen. Just be careful because like I previously stated this knife is SO VERY SHARP! After using this one Knife I really want to purchase a full set ! All My other knives feel dull & outdated in comparison & honestly make cooking harder while this knife has truly made cooking so much easier ! ... show more

    • Vegetables now fear me.
Size: 8 Inch Color: White
This is a fantastic, albeit possibly a bit overpriced knife. The handle is super comfortable. If you're familiar with nice European knives, you'll know what the steel's like. You have to hone it more often than a Japanese knife, but it's durable. Wusthof's steel is on the hard side for Euro knives, though, and the angle is different. It helps keep the edge longer than you might expect. Compared to my Wusthof Grand Prix II 8" chef's knife, the balance is a little further back in the handle. It makes the knife feel a bit lighter for delicate work, but it still has the heft of a German knife for chopping. The lack of a thick bolster going all the way down is the biggest reason to pick the Ikon over other Wusthof's (and other German knives in general), though. It makes it easier to sharpen and you don't have to worry about removing too much metal and the heel hitting the cutting board before the knife is through the food. Also, it's sexy. Which is important if it's gonna be visible in your kitchen. Who cares how nice a knife is if it's just gonna ugly up the place? For the price difference, I'd say it's worth the leap from the Classic line. The nicer handle is worth it alone, but the lack of heel and looks make it a pretty easy decision. Especially if it's on sale and, thus, cheaper. But even if it wasn't. Worth it. Stop arguing with me. ... show more

    • Like butter!
Size: 9 Inch Color: White
great knife. well built. I know this will last for years and years making the price a non-issue because you get great value. The edge stays sharp for a long time, longer than many of my other kitchen knives. Also, I don't feel that I need to be as delicate with the blade as I do with other knives in my arsenal, for example, my Shun knives. Perhaps a slightly shorter version would be ideal for my wife since this is more of a hefty weighted knife at 9 inches long. Personally, I prefer a knife that has some weight to it as I feel that the knife really does all the hard work for you as long as you allow it to. I merely guide the blade through whatever it is i'm cutting. It's like butter. ... show more

    • This knife is absolutely perfect. I am a chef and I use this
Size: 8 Inch Color: White
This knife is absolutely perfect. I am a chef and I use this, as well as a victorinox santoku, 8 hours a day. I wasn't sure if it was worth the extra money originally, but the comfort grip is definitely worth it in the long run. Any Wusthof is always going to be an amazing quality knife, but this knife specifically is my personal favorite. Versatile and comfortable. The factory edge is incredibly sharp and resharpens very easily. Highly suggest. ... show more
