Product Info
Styled after the Japanese Cook's Knife, this blade is just right for preparing not only fine Asian but also Western cuisine. The hollow edge creates pockets of air which prevent extra thin or soft slices from sticking to the blade.
- Drop forged from a single piece of steel and tempered to an optimal hardness
- Specialised high carbon, stain resistant alloy ensures that the cutting edge of the knife is both razor sharp and easy to resharpen
- The knife blade is skilfully honed by hand to an incredibly sharp edge, the entire length of which can be sharpened due to the partial bolster
- The blade is ground thinner than usual, so there is less resistance when chopping and slicing
- A computer controlled grinding and polishing of the blade ensures that there is a perfect tapering from bolster to tip providing you with a knife with maximum strength, balance and heft
- Stainless steel triple rivets secure the slightly curved, weighted handle to the blade while maintaining its elegant appearance and superb ergonomic comfort
All knife measurements are for the blade only, not the handle.

Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme Range
Based on the best-selling Classic Series, each Wüsthof Classic Ikon Creme knife is drop forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel and tempered to an optimal Rockwell 58 hardness. This specialised high-carbon, stain-resistant alloy ensures that the cutting edge of the knife is both razor sharp and easy to re-sharpen.
The knife blade is skilfully honed by hand to an incredibly sharp edge, the entire length of which can be sharpened due to the partial bolster. The blade is ground thinner than usual, so there is less resistance when chopping and slicing. Finally, a computer controlled grinding and polishing of the blade ensures that there is a perfect tapering from bolster to tip providing you with a knife with maximum strength, balance and heft.
The full tang knife has a beautiful, synthetic cream-coloured handle that is stylishly contoured to give your hand comfort and control. Stainless steel triple rivets secure the slightly curved, weighted handle to the blade while maintaining its elegant appearance and superb ergonomic comfort.

Care Instructions
Dishwasher Instructions
Although some Wüsthof products are dishwasher safe, we do not recommend that your knives and scissors be put in the dishwasher. Blades can knock together, damaging them, and if not washed soon after use, corrosive food particles can damage the blade. Rather wash your knives as soon as possible after each use with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel.
Knife Sharpening
All knives require regular sharpening. Wüsthof manufactures sharpening options that suit all of their knives, including whetstones, honing steels and pull-through sharpeners. See the sharpening range here.
Knife Storage
Wüsthof has a range of storage options to keep your knives safe: magnets, blocks, in-drawer organisers, and knife rolls. See the storage range here.
Warranty Info
Wüsthof knives have a 10-year warranty and will be repaired or replaced after thorough inspection if there are any defects in workmanship or materials. This warranty assumes proper care, maintenance and intended use of the knives.

Excellent quality!
I love cooking with fresh ingredients. But somehow my knife gets lost in the kitchen system. No more! Everybody admires but don't touch. Stylish, excellent handling and super sharp.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

My favorite knife
This knife is not only beautiful to look at, it is a pleasure to hold and more versatile than you'd imagine. If I could have only one knife in the kitchen this would be it.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Excellent knife (well balanced, good looking, seriously sharp, quality feel to it).
I purchased two (2) Wusthof knives and will definitely be buying more from the range.
