WÜSTHOF Knives Classic Ikon design, ergonomics and the well known WÜSTHOF quality are perfectly combined in one series to give you the ultimate cutting experience. This precision WÜSTHOF Classic Ikon 5" Utility Knife is hand-forged in the most famous knife-making town in Germany.

About the WÜSTHOF Classic IKON Collection The WÜSTHOF Ikon Classic series is made up of modern knives for the modern chef, designed with clean lines and using the same handle material as the Classic Series. This material resists fading so your knives will look as good years from now as they do today, and given that the Ikon Classic Series will require more of an investment than the previously mentioned WÜSTHOF Lines, this is an invaluable feature. The Ikon Classic Series is made to provide a superior cutting experience, with a double bolster, perfectly balanced blade, and full tang. While not as wide a selection as the Classic or Gourmet Series, the Ikon Classic Series does contain numerous knife styles and sets, so this cutlery line is a great choice for those who are willing to invest more for the highest quality knives on the market and want to retain a modern aesthetic in their kitchen.
