Wusthof Classic Ikon is a beautiful line of Wusthof knives and probably our favorite Wusthof knife line. The metal formula for the Classic Ikon line is identical to the famous Classic forged line and is precision forged from a solid slab of steel, then tempered to a Rockwell 58 hardness. The Wusthof Classic Ikon line has a sturdy ergonomic handle for a comfortable fit and a sleek and exciting appearance. The Wusthof Ikon line has a bolster angled towards the hand for exceptional control, balance and comfort. A few of the difference for the Wusthof Classic Ikon line's knife blade: The blade is ground thinner, so less resistance when chopping and slicing; the entire length of the Ikon blade can be sharpened, due to the partial bolster. The Classic Ikon line is a perfect mix of tradition and contemporary technology and styling.
