The Classic Ikon series has become one of the most popular Wüsthof series in a short time. Not unexpectedly, because it is a fabulous combination of classic and modern.The Classic IKON series not only stands out because of the design but also because of the ergonomics of the handle. The knives are balanced in a way which allows you to enjoy the ultimate cutting pleasure.
Because of the absence of a bolster – the thicker part on the side of the blade leading up to the handle – you can cut with the whole blade length of the kitchen knife. And it makes sharpening easier! Like all Wüsthof kitchen knives the knives in the Classic Ikon series are also sharpened with laser precision. The knives come out of the packaging as sharp as a razor blade!
Sharpen both your knives with the Wüsthof 2 stage knife sharpener. Stage 1 uses coarse diamond rods to sharpen the edge in case of a dull knife.

Insert the knife blade fully into the slot at a 90-degree angle to the sharpener and pull down and back three or four times to sharpen. Features the popular Classic Ikon handle in black.

This knife block is a heavyweight. Literally! With a weight of 3280 grams, it does not shift on the work surface like a 'regular' knife block. Fortunately, it doesn't take a crane to move it. An insert of beech wood contains the openings through which you stick the blades. The insert can be taken out of the concrete, so it is easy to clean. The bottom of the knife block has a felt layer on it. Therefore, you don't need to fear scratching your countertop or table.
The heat treated beech wood is resistant to elongation and shrinkage. The wood is 'baked' at a temperature between 180 and 220 degrees Celsius, giving it this dark chic look. The wood is completely impregnated by this treatment, making it impervious to water.
