This classic Ikon by Wüsthof knife set contains two essential knives for cooking everything. With the perfect balance, they have been precision forged from a single piece of special hardened steel with a high carbon content to ensure strength and durability. A 17cm Santoku (TR1040331317), symbol of Japanese cooking. This knife is designed initially to sharpen raw fish with rich flesh and prepare especially sushi and sashimi. Very versatile, it also offers precise cutting of fragile fruits such as strawberries, mushrooms from Paris or beef carpaccios and has found its place in French kitchens where it complements the famous Chef's knife. A practical 8 cm vegetable knife (TR1040333208) for slicing fruits and vegetables into slices, dicing or giving them a decorative shape. Its straight blade allows for thorough and fast work. Very handy thanks to its short 8 cm blade, this knife is an everyday ally for cooking vegetables. Knives from the Classic Ikon range, characterized by its half bolster that allows you to use the entire length of the blade and the elegant design of its ergonomic handle. Extreme sharpness thanks to Wüsthof's state of the art PETEC technology for a much longer lasting sharpness and easier to re-sharpen the thread at home. Do not put in the dishwasher, to maintain the sharpness of the blade. Made in Germany, in Solingen, since 1814.
