Amazon.com Product Description

Create culinary masterpieces in your home with this professional-quality Wusthof Classic Ikon boning knife. It curves inward at the cutting edge to allow for the easy removing of bones from poultry and meat, and is also ideal for trimming fat and sinews. The 5-inch blade is complemented by a riveted black handle design with a contoured shape to add comfort and control, and it's backed by a lifetime warranty.

A culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines, the Wusthof Classic Ikon line features blades that are precision-forged from one solid piece of steel and tempered to optimum sharpness. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife, which adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon also has a unique forward bolster, which is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. A full tang extends through the handle for perfect balance and handling.

Made in Solingen, Germany--The Cutlery Capital of the World--Wusthof knives are made from a special blend of German steel and each blade is precisely tempered, which allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen without the need to be sent away for maintenance. Wusthof also employs a unique compound angle that tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge.

Generally, the construction technique and the materials used to manufacture make all Wusthof knives dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended. Wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use.

To this day, the company remains family owned. Throughout it’s history, Wusthof has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered.

Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

The right tool for the job. Great German single piece forged boning knife that will be a staple in my collection for years to come. Will buy another when this one gets sharpened to the handle.
