Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof Classic Ikon 6-Inch Cook's Knife, Black
Customer Review: King of the block!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a Henckels, a Wusthoff Classic and a few decent inexpensive knives, but the Ikon chef knife rules! I second what others have said about the sharp and easy to maintain blade. I agree 100% with fine workmanship and quality--ours has held up well for 2+ years of heavy use. I have to really put even more emphasis on the fantastic shape of the handle, though. It looks gorgeous and feels even better in the hand. Next to this knife, all of our other good quality, functional knives seem clunky to both the eye and the hand. I wish I could justify replacing perfectly fine knives, because I'd go get Ikons in every size in a heartbeat!
I love this knife. :)
Description of Wusthof Classic Ikon 6-Inch Cook's Knife, Black
The Cooks knife is the workhorse knife in any kitchen. Designed for a the multiple tasks of chopping, dicing and mincing. Wusthof Classic Ikon is a culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines. The combined riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape to add comfort and control. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife. This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. Located in The Cutlery Capital of the World, Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Throughout it?s history, Wusthof has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.Chef's Knives
