Chef's knife 20 cm/ 8" - Ikon

Think of the chef's knife as the hero of your kitchen: it's a versatile food preparation tool that handles the widest variety of kitchen tasks.

A good chef's knife makes carving and slicing a pleasure, which is one of the many reasons why it is often the most used and important kitchen tool for home cooks and professional chefs alike. Forged from a single piece of specially hardened WÜSTHOF steel in Solingen, Germany (the cutlery capital of the world) and equipped with ergonomic handles made of sustainably grown, water-resistant African blackwood, the Ikon series is synonymous with luxury craftsmanship.

The final work on each blade's edge is hand-sharpened by one of WÜSTHOF's expert knife artisans, meaning that each exquisite knife in this series is also a workhorse for preparation, plating and serving. The WÜSTHOF Ikon 8" Chef's Knife is an ideal addition to any kitchen.
