Product Description
This set indludes a 3-inch and 7-inch santoku knives. Santokus have a special feature hollow-ground kullens that reduce the tendency of food to stick to the blade. The Japanese word Santoku has the meaning of three virtues this refers to the knifes ability to fine mincing, slice and dice. Wusthof Classic Ikon is a culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines. The combined riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape to add comfort and control. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife. This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. Located in The Cutlery Capital of the World, Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Throughout it’s history, Wusthof has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

Wonderful Grip
By C. Meyer
Longtime fan of Wusthof knives and wanted to try out the more ergonomic grip of the Ikon set. The knives fit wonderfully in my hands and offer a very comfortable and positive grip with very little pressure.

By Fred Kepler
These *are* the sharpest knives in the drawer. And they hold an edge. Hone them before every use to maintain that edge, and assure a clean wound. I've found that if I run my finger under cold water and then pinch the cut closed very tight immediately after injuring myself, it heals almost instantly--the cut is that clean! A small bandage usually does the trick (see my glowing review of band-aids, as well.)All seriousness aside, meat and vegetables do not stand a chance against these blades, and I would far prefer to work with a sharp knife than struggle against a dull one.
