Product Description
Sandwich knives are a utility that does it all. Small enough to peel yet large enough to slice a great choice when the paring knife just isn't long enough. 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.

Great knife, color just ok
By Berta Dora
The knife is great. This is a very useful size too and not just for sandwiches also for carving meat and so on. This knife cuts well like all Wusthof knives do. Long lasting, well balanced and easy to clean, plus it is made in Germany. I like the handle of the Ikon series because it looks good. I think the knives of the Ikon and Classic series are equal in their performance and quality but the handle of the Ikon series just looks a bit more elegant. All of my Wusthof knives are black except for this one. You might think that is odd that my knives don't match but I actually like it this way, this knife is easy to identify in the knife block. However, I was really excited about this color, I thought it would look quite elegant and extraordinary. But really it does not. Personally I think it looks cheap compared to the black ones. It really looks like a plastic handle, also scratches show easily. That does not affect the performance of the knife and is just my personal opinion. I just wanted to mention it in case you consider buying a whole set in this color. Make sure you see it in person first. Other than that it is a great knife and I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the color.
