Wusthof Classic Ikon Bread Knife

Absolutely. While designed for crusty loaves, the serrated edge is excellent for slicing delicate pastries, tough-skinned produce like tomatoes or melons, and even carving roasts where you need to grip the surface without crushing the meat.

No, it is not dishwasher safe. To protect the integrity of the blade and the handle material, we strongly recommend hand washing with warm water and mild detergent, then drying immediately.

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 cut.

The blade is forged from high-quality stainless steel with a hardness of 58 HRC, which is designed to retain its sharpness for a long time. While serrated edges are harder to sharpen at home than straight edges, this knife is built to maintain its performance through years of regular use.

The Classic Ikon handle is ergonomically contoured to fit the natural shape of your hand. This design reduces fatigue during extended prep work and provides a more secure, comfortable grip compared to traditional, straight-handled knives.
