Sandwich prep, a handful of shallots, a wedge of hard cheese, a few chiles — this is the blade that ends up in the sink every night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes it Classic Ikon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Asian utility profile is short and tall, so the edge stays flat on the board and your knuckles clear it. Every Classic Ikon blade is fully forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, then sharpened by Wusthof's computer-controlled PEtec process for a 20% sharper edge with twice the edge retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe series signature is the double bolster: one at the heel for balance and finger protection, a second at the butt of the handle that moves the balance point back toward your hand. The handle itself is contoured rather than flat-sided, which is why the Ikon line is the one people buy when they cook for hours at a stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e wash by hand and towel dry immediately. Avoid abrasive sponges, do not leave it soaking, hone regularly and skip glass, metal or bamboo boards.
