Wüsthof Classic IKON Utility Knife

A 6-inch utility knife acts as a bridge between a chef's knife and a paring knife. It is perfectly sized for tasks that require more precision than a large chef's knife can offer, such as slicing small vegetables, trimming meat, or preparing sandwiches.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel blade and the handle material, we recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap, then drying immediately.

The double bolster provides a professional-style heft and exceptional balance. It adds weight to the center of the knife, which helps reduce fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks and offers a more secure grip.

The Polyoxymethylene (POM) handle is a high-grade synthetic material that is exceptionally durable and resistant to fading or discoloration. Unlike wood, it will not warp or crack over time, and it provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip even when wet.

Thanks to Wüsthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec), this knife is tempered to 58⁰ Rockwell and offers twice the edge retention of standard blades. While it stays sharp significantly longer than most knives, regular honing with a steel will keep the edge aligned and performing at its best.
