The knives in Wusthof's Classic Ikon Collection are all forged from a single piece of steel. Easy to maneuver and clean, these sleek knives ensure superior chopping and cutting. The blades are ground thinner, making them exceptionally sharp. Triple-riveted, full-tang weighted handles are slightly curved to offer the perfect weight and balance for effortless cutting. Precision bolster is tapered which allows total-edge sharpening on electric sharpeners. Made in Germany. Lifetime manufacturer warranty.
Since 1814, knives bearing the Wusthof name and the Trident logo have been crafted in the world's "Cutlery Capital" of Solingen Germany. Today, in a state-of-the-art facility, that tradition of quality is ensured as old-world craftsmanship meets 21st century advanced technological production methods.

Care and Use
Wusthof cutlery is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended. In the dishwasher, your Wusthof knife may bang against other cutlery or pots and pans and knick the blade
Clean knife with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Dry immediately, from the back of knife to the blade
No metal is completely stain-free. To prevent slight tarnishing, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blade after use. If blade should show some signs of staining, clean with a nonabrasive metal polish
To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store knives in a knife block or inside an in-drawer knife tray
