Made from high-carbon stainless steel, the blades feature the new WÜSTHOF trident logo with text appearing on the top-righthand side of the blade for an improved look. Use your paring knife to slice and peel smaller fruits, vegetables, herbs, and cheese. Mince herbs and onions or slice smaller cuts of meat with the utility knife. And chop, mince, and dice slabs of lamb, beef, or pork with the chef's knife. Each knife comes with a full tang triple-riveted to the handle, features proprietary state-of-the-art Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) that makes the blades 20% sharper, and is built with full bolsters and finger guard. Not only can you take care of almost all meal preparation with this knife set, but the knives included are made to last and prove to be effective for any job. This material resists fading so your knives will look as good years from now as they do today, and given that the Ikon Classic Series will require more of an investment than the previously mentioned WÜSTHOF Lines, this is an invaluable feature. The Ikon Classic Series is made to provide a superior cutting experience, with a double bolster, perfectly balanced blade, and full tang. While not as wide a selection as the Classic or Gourmet Series, the Ikon Classic Series does contain numerous knife styles and sets, so this cutlery line is a great choice for those who are willing to invest more for the highest quality knives on the market and want to retain a modern aesthetic in their kitchen.Looking for more WÜSTHOF Classic Knives or other WÜSTHOF styles?
