An Icon Amongst Icons, the Wusthof Ikon Knife Set

One of the edgiest offerings produced by Wusthof is the Ikon branch of knives. This line boasts a great handle design and a bolster design for good sharpening. A wide range of knives are in this line, too. There are quite a few Wusthof Ikon knife sets on the market that have this top quality line of knives, also. A great set to look into is the Wusthof Gourment 18 Piece Knife Block Set.

The Ikon line of knives was designed with pure quality in mind. This is guaranteed, as the blades in the knives have been made out of a single blank of carbon steel. This is a top quality type of steel that is utilized for a number of Wusthof knife products. It is one that has been tested for quality and is built with pride at the Wusthof factory located in Germany.

The handles used on these Ikon knives are among the premier knives in the field of kitchen knives. Each handle is made from Grenadill wood or Mozambique Ebony wood, which is loved for being highly durable thanks to its large quantities of resin. The curve is engineered into the handle to provide for simple handling.

Another aspect of these knives is the bolster design any cook can enjoy. This design is one that adds a small curve at the edge so that it will be easy to sharpen when you need to do that. This also is true of the knives that have grooves in them, including the sausage knife and the Santoku knife, and many more. Of course, with the durable quality of the blade, it will not have to be sharpened as often as other types of knife sets would.

A number of kitchen knives may be found in sets in this line. One popular set provides a three-inch paring knife along with a six and a half inch Santoku knife. A package of four steak knives is also available from the company. Other popular knives that may be found in these Wusthof Ikon knife sets include a carving knife, a carving fork, a cook's knife, and a paring knife.

Two different block sets are available in this line, also. The kitchen knives here are all nicely protected thanks to the snug slots in the wood. Tough beech wood is used to make these blocks the best. The brown glazes of these sets are also great for any kitchen counter color scheme. Six- and nine-piece block sets of these kitchen knives are on the market from Wusthof. For example, a nice choice is the Wusthof Gourment 18 Piece Knife Block Set.

Wusthof Ikon knife sets are among the top quality sets to enjoy in the field of kitchen knives. These knives feature the newest innovations in handles and knife design from Wusthof. All kinds of different kitchen knives are found in this series, including Santoku knives. Block sets are also on the market and they are very fashionable for any kitchen counter.
