Wusthof Classic Ikon Craftsman

The Craftsman combines the wide belly of a chef's knife for chopping, the maneuverability of a clip-point tip for boning, and the hollow-edge design of a slicing knife. It is designed to replace multiple specialized tools in your kitchen with one versatile blade.

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

The hollow-edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the steel and the food. This reduces friction and prevents slices from sticking to the knife, allowing for smoother, cleaner cuts.

Yes, the clip-point tip is specifically engineered to maneuver around joints and bones, while the forged, full-tang construction provides the durability needed for heavier prep work.

A Rockwell hardness of 58 HRC strikes a balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It is hard enough to hold a sharp edge through extended use, yet soft enough that you can maintain it easily with a honing steel.

Wusthof's PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) uses lasers to measure the blade and calculate the exact sharpening angle. This ensures the edge is 20% sharper out of the box and maintains its geometry longer than standard factory-sharpened knives.
