Wusthof Classic Ikon Deli Knife - 8″
Wusthof Classic Ikon Deli Knife
The Wusthof Classic Ikon Deli Knife has been designed as a bread knife that can also cleanly slice tender meat, making it the perfect choice for Panini and crusty bread sandwiches. Some knives cut the bread well but tear up the meat and veggies, while others slice through the meat yet disfigure the bread. The 8 inch blade of the Wusthof Classic Ikon Deli Knife is fully forged with an ultra-sharp reverse scalloped edge, or wave, that offers precisely clean cuts of both bread and meat. The ergonomic Ikon handle is offset, allowing extra clearance for knuckles while slicing, so you can take the blade all the way down to the cutting board without changing the angle of the cut. You may find that you love the Wusthof Classic Ikon Deli Knife enough that you use it in favor of a tradition bread or carving knife. Either way, if you enjoy artisan bread sandwiches, add the Wusthof Classic Ikon Panini Deli Knife to your arsenal. Lifetime Wusthof Guarantee. Wusthof item number 4124.
Wusthof Classic Ikon Series Features
Wusthof spent years developing a new design to improve upon their world-favorite Classic family of knives and eventually created the Classic Ikon family. Every Wusthof Classic Ikon knife is still forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength, balance, and heft. The changes Wusthof made include moving some of the metal in the bolster to the heel of the handle to improve balance and ergonomics. This also allows the entire edge of the blade to be sharpened. The Classic Ikon black handles are now also ergonomic and still made of synthetic material triple riveted to the full tang for a seamless and hygienic fit. Not only comfortable to hold, but the skillfully honed by hand blades are also incredibly sharp and are easily resharpened. Made in Germany, Lifetime Guarantee.
Why Choose a Forged Steel Knife?
Wusthof forged knives start with quality steel that undergoes extreme heat and hand molding to enhance the flexibility, density, and hardness of the blade. Forged knives are hand crafted and offer greater strength and durability as well as better balance, a heavier feel and lasting sharpness compared to stamped cutlery. The tang of a forged knife always extends into the handle to improve the balance and ergonomics.
