Wusthof Classic Ikon Chef's Knife

The half-bolster design removes the thick metal section usually found at the heel of the knife. This allows you to sharpen the entire length of the blade from heel to tip and makes the knife lighter and easier to handle.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle and dull the blade edge, so we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.

A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels solid and secure in your hand while you work.

A 6-inch blade is more compact and agile, making it ideal for smaller hands or tasks that require more precision, like mincing herbs or peeling vegetables. If you frequently break down large proteins or chop large quantities of produce, you might find an 8-inch blade more efficient.

The handle is made from a durable synthetic material that is designed to be low-maintenance. Simply wipe it clean with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly; no oiling or special treatments are necessary.
