The WÜSTHOF Ikon 8" Bread Knife is, fittingly, an icon among knives, and one of the more important knives to have in your kitchen. Beyond crusty loaves of bread and soft dinner rolls, this bread knife is also perfect for slicing into hard-skinned fruits and vegetables. The concave, serrated edge of the Ikon bread knife works like the teeth of a saw, yet much finer — this means minimal pressure is required for clean, even cuts. Forged from a single piece of specially tempered WÜSTHOF steel in Solingen, Germany (the cutlery capital of the world) and fitted with ergonomic handles made from sustainably grown, water-resistant African Blackwood, the Ikon series is all about luxury craftsmanship. The final edge work of each blade is honed by hand by one of WÜSTHOF's expert knife artisans, meaning every exquisite knife in this series is also a prepping, plating, and serving workhorse.
Formulated for Optimal Sharpness
At WÜSTHOF's production factory in Solingen, Germany, forged knives are meticulously crafted through a process involving over fifty-four manufacturing steps. This process seamlessly blends innovative technology with the time-honored traditions of hand-made artisanship.
