Consider the chef's knife the hero of your kitchen — it's an all-rounder in food preparation that supports the widest variety of kitchen tasks. A great chef's knife makes slicing and dicing a pleasure, which is one of the many reasons it is often the most used, most important kitchen tool for home cooks and professional chefs. WÜSTHOF's Classic Ikon series merges the sleek, sophisticated elegance of a high-performance knife with the precision and durability of an all-purpose kitchen companion. With a distinct double-bolster design and handles crafted from a highly durable synthetic material "Polyoxymethylene (POM)," which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration, Classic Ikon knives feature professional-style heft, beauty, and balance. The elegant shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable grip, and each and every Classic Ikon blade is precision honed from a single piece of specially tempered WÜSTHOF steel. The WÜSTHOF Classic Ikon 9" Chef's Knife is the ideal addition to any kitchen.
