Wusthof Cutlery Wusthof Classic Ikon 2-Piece Asian Knife Set | Santoku & Paring

Paired together into for ultimate function, the Wusthof Classic IKON 2-Piece Asian Knife Set includes a 7″ Santoku Knife (Hollow Edge) & 3″ Paring Knife (Flat Cut) from the Wusthof Classic IKON Collection. Inspired by Japanese cutlery, the Wusthof Classic IKON 5″ Santoku Knife has a thinner blade than a traditional cook’s knife with a 10° cutting edge. The thinner blade is better for precision cutting or when you need very thin cuts or slices. The Santoku Knife is ideal for chopping, slicing & dicing vegetables but can be used for meats & fruits as well. The hollow edge blade also features vertical indentations on the blade which creates an air pocket between the blade & food to reduce friction & drag when slicing. As the 2nd most used knife in the kitchen, the Wusthof 3″ Paring Knife is tailored for the smaller kitchen tasks when a standard cook’s knife may be too large for the job at hand. The narrow blade & pointed tip design of the paring knife make it easy to peel garlic cloves, mince shallots, trim herbs or other intricate cutting. The straight edge blade cuts smoothly through different cuts of meats, denser vegetables or fruits. The forged blade is constructed of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel & is triple-riveted to the black contoured handle. Craftsmanship & durability are important factors in choosing the right knife. Wusthof is a family-owned company who has been manufacturing knives & cutlery for over 200 years in Solingen, Germany – also known as the “City of Blades”.

About the Wusthof Classic IKON Collection
The Wusthof 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 Wusthof 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.
