Product Description
The Classic Ikon 7-piece block set comes with a 3-1/2-inch parer, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch cooks knife, 9-inch steel, kitchen shears and a 13 slot block. Classic Ikon is culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines. The combined riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape to add comfort and control. The handles are made of a durable synthetic material that is extremely comfortable to use. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife. This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curved inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. 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. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. 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. Located in "The Cutlery Capital of the World", Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned.

Good tools make the difference
By The Bob
Very sharp and balanced. I very much like the grip and they're easy to sharpen. I was originally planning to start with just the paring & chef's knives but glad I went with the set. Even the bread knife is noticeably better than what I was using before, allowing me to cut very thin slices of bread with precision.

Love these knives and use them almost everyday. They were an early Christmas gift from my husband and I can't say enough good things about them.

Great Product
By Muhlbiz
So far this product has been incredible. Complete upgrade for me from what I was using. The knives are really sharp and have incredible balance to them. We will see how they are after I have to get them sharpened.
