Smaller than a chef's knife and larger than a paring knife, the WÜSTHOF Ikon 6" Utility Knife is the perfect blade for a myriad of tasks. Think of this handy utility knife as a slightly longer, just-as-versatile paring knife with an aptitude for chopping shallots, onions, herbs, tender vegetables, and smaller cuts of meat. Forged from a single piece of specially tempered WÜSTHOF steel, each luxury Ikon knife features a full tang, a distinct double bolster, and final edge work hand-honed by one of WÜSTHOF's expert knife artisans in Solingen, Germany, the international cutlery capital. Ergonomic handles are crafted from sustainably grown, water-resistant African Blackwood, one of the hardest and heaviest woods in the world.
