Product detailed description
Santoku knife with Ikon cut belongs to Asian knives. It boasts a wide and above all sharp blade. This jack of all trades from Asian cuisine can be used in three ways: for preparing meat, fish and vegetables.
Thanks to the textured cut surface of the blade, it is the perfect tool for slicing, for example, thin slices of ham - the oval grooves on both sides of the blade ensures that soft food does not stick. You will also appreciate the excellent blade of the Santoku knife when slicing tomatoes, whose shape and texture do not change during slicing.

The WÜSTHOF brand has added the luxury Ikon series of knives to its range, which are forged from a single piece of alloyed X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. These are perfectly balanced knives with a perfect edge. Exceptional sharpness of Ikon knives is ensured by precise hand honing and final polishing of the blades. The quality of the blade is high and more importantly, easily renewable.
The wooden three-knife handle of the Ikon knives made of African grenadill wood catches the eye at first sight. Its dynamic shape will not leave any cook cold. The handle fully meets the requirements in terms of ergonomics, while from an aesthetic point of view it perfectly combines modern design and the elegant structure of the wood, also called Mozambican ebony.
WÜSTHOF, these are top quality knives made with great care down to the last detail. Exactly as expected from Solingen knives.
Technologies and materials used
WÜSTHOF knives are manufactured using the high-quality German steel X50CrMoV15 which has approx. 0.5 percent carbon and the alloying elements chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. Thanks to the added chromium it is corrosion-resistant which is desirable for kitchen knives.
Precise blades are formed from a steel strip by forging in the die. These are hardened for 15 minutes at 1070 °C and then rapidly cooled to 60 °C in two minutes. Subsequent tempering (a process of slowly heating the material to 200 °C for 45 minutes) relieves the blade of internal stresses and stabilises its martensitic structure. This gives the blade the optimum required hardness of 58° Rockwell and higher toughness.
The stable blade and the perfect geometry of the blade deliver exceptional cutting performance and precise control in the cut. The sharp angle provides even more sharpness, which makes slicing more enjoyable. Thanks to the wedge-shaped cut, the knife penetrates food effortlessly.
Crossguard is integrated as part of the blade from a single piece of steel. Ensures correct weight distribution and ensures precise and safe knife control. The fittings on the guard of the Ikon knives smoothly transition to the upper part of the ricasso for an even more comfortable grip.
The ergonomic handle is made of African grenadill wood. It is a very durable, hard wood with a density higher than ebony. Due to its high resin content, it is relatively insensitive to moisture, but is not suitable for washing in the dishwasher. The wooden blades of the Ikon knives are firmly attached to the shank with three rivets. The perfect bonding of the individual parts prevents the trapping of deposits and bacteria.
Knife sharpening WÜSTHOF
Every knife needs to be sharpened from time to time as it becomes dull after prolonged use. To maintain and revive the blade , we use chrome-plated whetstones, and for sharpening knives we recommend WÜSTHOF sharpening stones. For the less experienced, we also offer grinders with easier operation. Simply run the blade gently through the grinding groove a few times and the blade will be restored.
