Classic Ikon Two-Piece Knife Set

The Classic Ikon two-piece set typically includes a 3.5-inch paring knife and an 8-inch chef's knife. This combination covers the vast majority of daily kitchen tasks, from intricate peeling to heavy-duty chopping.

The Classic Ikon features a double-bolster design, which provides a balanced weight and allows for full-length sharpening of the blade. It also features a contoured, ergonomic handle that is more rounded than the traditional Classic handle for a more comfortable grip.

While the materials are technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the edge prematurely and potentially damage the handle material over time.

Wusthof blades are forged from high-carbon stainless steel, which holds a sharp edge well. However, you should use a honing steel before each use to realign the edge and schedule a professional sharpening or use a quality whetstone once or twice a year depending on your usage.

Yes, the handles are made from a high-quality synthetic material called polyoxymethylene (POM). It is designed to resist fading, discoloration, and impact, making it highly durable for professional or home kitchen environments.
