Wüsthof Ikon Bread Knife with 20 cm blade
A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut.
The small blunt section at the tip of the blade is designed for extra crusty loaves. As you slice down to the bottom of the loaf, simply lift the handle up and use the blunt tip to slice through the hard bottom crust.
Wüsthof Ikon Series
The Wüsthof Ikon series represents the pinnacle of culinary sophistication, where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary design. Each knife features handles crafted from sustainable African Blackwood, precisely shaped for optimal comfort and control. The distinctive double bolster design not only provides perfect balance but also adds a modern aesthetic touch that sets Ikon apart.
Every Ikon knife is precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel and features PEtec edge technology, resulting in exceptional sharpness and edge retention. The ergonomic handle design, combined with the full tang construction, ensures superior control and balance, while the hand-finished blades demonstrate the masterful craftsmanship that has defined Wüsthof for generations.
