Product Info

The all-rounder: for mincing, chopping or cutting meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. This Chef’s Knife is an active participant in many kitchen tasks, makes food prepping pleasurable and is part of every professional and hobby cook’s basic equipment. The half bolster, the junction between handle and blade, reduces the weight of the knife, making it easier to handle. It also allows the entire blade to be sharpened more easily.

  • Classic Ikon Chef's Knife
  • Essential for various kitchen tasks
  • Enhances the pleasure of food preparation
  • Suitable for both professional and hobby cooks
  • Features a half bolster to reduce weight for easier handling
  • Allows for easier sharpening of the entire blade
  • Can be used for cutting, chopping and mincing: meat, vegetables, fruit, lettuce & cabbage, fish, herbs

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.

Bolster:
It is the perfectly weighted bolster which gives the knife its heft and serves to protect your fingers too. The Ikon Series has a precision bolster angled towards the hand for exceptional comfort, control and balance. The precision bolster is tapered, allowing total-edge sharpening from tip to handle.

Handle:
The full tang knife has a beautiful, synthetic 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.

Verified Owner

I love my knife. I was not sure whether to go for the Ikon or the classic handle, but I am thrilled at the feel of the chef's knife sliding through everything I cut. Great product.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
