Smaller than a chef's knife and larger than a paring knife, the WÜSTHOF Classic Ikon Crème 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. WÜSTHOF's Classic Ikon Crème series merges the sleek, sophisticated elegance of a high-performance knife with the precision and durability of an all-purpose kitchen companion. Classic Ikon Crème knives feature a distinct double-bolster design for professional-style heft, balance, and beauty. Handles are crafted from a highly durable synthetic material "Polyoxymethylene (POM)," which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discolouration. The elegant shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable grip, and each Classic Ikon Crème blade is precision honed from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel.
