Wusthof Ikon Filleting Knife

Wusthof Knives
Wusthof Ikon knives are fully forged form a single piece of steel.
They are hand honed and laser finished to provide a professional quality piece of equipment.
This is an exhaustive process and includes over 40 separate demanding steps!

Wusthof have been making knives since 1814, during this time they have accrued a great deal of knowledge, refined their techniques, and invested in state of the art technologies.
The result is a very large range of truly professional quality knives - all carrying the Wusthof Trident logo - a guarantee of authenticity.

Wusthof Ikon Knives - the blade
 

Wusthof's fine, professional quality blades are forged from a single billet of high carbon, corrosion resistant X50crMoV15 stainless steel.

The edges are hand honed twice by craftsmen, and the manufacturing process is completed with a final laser controlled checking and finishing stage.

The finger guard/bolster is gently curved for comfort, its' modern design features a shortened bolster, which makes it easier to sharpen the full length of the blade, right up to the heel.

- the handle

Wusthof Ikon knives have very comfortable, ergonomically designed handles, which are curved to fit in the hand more naturally.

They are a little longer to give better balance, and have a secondary bolster at the end of the handle, to improve balance even further.

The handle scales are made from mozambique ebony, a dense, close textured hard wood, in a deep rich brown colour, which is visually attractive and very tactile.
