The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Crème series combines perfect ergonomics, excellent balance and exceptional performance for a true culinary experience. With their modern design and contoured handles, these razor-sharp knives are the kitchen essentials you will reach for time and time again. The Classic Ikon Crème Ash Wood 7pc Block Set Includes a 3.5” Paring Knife, 5” Serrated Utility Knife, 8” Cook’s Knife, 6” Utility Knife, 7” Hollow Ground Santoku, 9” Bread Knife, and a Crème Ash Wood Block with metal plate. This unique knife block set contains all the essentials to handle any cutting task and makes the perfect gift for any professional chef or home cook. The crème coloured handles rests comfortably in the hand while the small curvatures along the grip ensure a secure hold while prepping food. The handles are made from a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The half bolster allows for the knife to be honed and sharpened the entire length of the blade while the heel bolster provides added balance. Each Classic Ikon Crème knife is forged from a single piece of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58° Rockwell Hardness for lasting edge retention, integral blade strength, and ease of maintenance. Precision Edge Technology (Petec) which is exclusive to Wüsthof knives, yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention for a knife that will last a lifetime. Wash by hand only. Family owned for seven generations, Wüsthof was founded in Solingen, Germany over 200 years ago. Wüsthof’s cutlery carries the Solingen name, a designation reserved for products that meet the strictest quality standards.
