## Description

CLASSIC IKON knives feature a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance and beauty. The handle is made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The elegant shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable grip.

Review: Simplemente MARAVILLOSO
Review: La hoja del cuchillo es muy delgada. Es un buen diseño pero no es un cuchillo fuerte. El cuchillo está hecho en CHINA de acuerdo con el importador, no en ALEMANIA (ver fotos). Lo regresé a pesar de haber pagado sólo el 50% del precio normal. Yo tengo gusto por los cuchillos Wusthof Classic Ikon. Pero los cuchillos que desertcart me ha entregado son cada vez más delgados. No es el cuchillo fuerte que aparece en los reviews.

The Wusthof Ikon series are excellent value for money and this knife is no exception. Glides through tomatoes like they were made of butter. Holds its edge very well too.
