Product Info
A great set to cover almost all your basic needs in the kitchen.
Based on the best-selling Wusthof Classic Series, each Wusthof Classic Ikon 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 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. 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.
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. 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.

Care Instructions
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.
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.
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.

Visually stunning and backs up the looks with perfect functionality!
Received this knife set as a birthday present and fell in love immediately upon opening the box. The beautiful dark wood with the gleaming high-quality steel are visually appealing, but the true reward comes in using these knives. Beautifully balanced, incredible sharpness (even straight out of the box) and they hold their edge. I've yet to attempt the day-time TV ad staple of cutting a can, a shoRead more

Amazing product, worth the cost!
I have had my set for 5 years already and the blades are still very sharp!
I use the set daily on the Wusthof cutting board to ensure the blade does not go dull.
High-quality items and highly recommend this set!

The perfect enthusiast's choice
This is a great set of knives. I selected the Classic Ikon as I prefer not to have a full finger guard as it makes sharpening easier on a stone.
This is a premium consumer/home-oriented style of knife. The balance is rearward tilted (they are handle-heavy) which is good for a regular knife grip, but a little less ideally balanced for a pinch grip with the larger blades. The Hencke Read more
