The Wusthof Ikon Carving Knife's fine blade shape guarantees wafer-thin slices of ham and other meats. The pointed tip guides the meat away from the bone while you work for effortless carving and slicing. Wusthof Ikon knives are forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel. Each knife features a robust hygenic handle, a half bolster for easy sharpening and a second bolster on the butt of the handle for added weight and balance. Each Ikon knife is razor sharp thanks to Wusthof's PETec laser-sharpening process. 58 HRC Rockwell. Handwash recommended. Made in Solingen, Germany.
