The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Crème series combines perfect ergonomics, excellent balance and exceptional performance for a true culinary experience. With its modern design and contoured handle, this razor-sharp bread knife is one that you will reach for time and time again. The Classic Ikon Crème 9” Bread Knife is an essential in the kitchen. The sharp serrations are designed to easily slice through crusty bread or soft dinner rolls without tearing the delicate interior and ensure a clean cut every time. This knife can also be used for over-filled sandwiches, thick burgers and paninis. The knife’s crème coloured handle rests comfortably in the hand while the small curvatures along the grip ensure a secure hold while prepping food. The handle is 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.
