The Cooks knife is the workhorse knife in any kitchen. Designed for a the multiple tasks of chopping, dicing and mincing. Wusthof Classic Ikon is a culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines. The combined riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape to add comfort and control. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife. This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. Located in The Cutlery Capital of the World, Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Throughout it’s history, WÜSTHOF has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

Wusthof Gourmet 18-Piece Knife Set with Storage Block

Wusthof Gourmet 18-Piece Knife Set with Storage Block Review

Wusthof Gourmet 18-Piece Knife Set with Storage Block Feature

• Laser-cut high-carbon steel blade with stain-resistant alloy
• Precise tapering from grinding and polishing procedure
• Full, seamlessly encased triple-riveted tangs
• Synthetic traditional-style handles
• Comes packed in a 17-slot oak block

Representing Wüsthof’s Gourmet series of knives, this block set features less expensive versions of the knives in the manufacturer’s Classic series. Knives in the set include an 8-inch cook’s knife, an 8-inch carving knife, a 6-1/2-inch santoku, an 8-inch bread knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, a 4-1/4-inch tomato knife, a 4-inch utility knife, a 3-inch paring knife, six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, a 6-inch kitchen fork, kitchen shears, and a 9-inch sharpening steel. Everything fits within the 17-slot rubber-footed oak block. Although the blades are still made of high-carbon steel with a stain-resistant alloy, the difference in the Gourmet series is that the blade is a thinner quality metal and is cut by a precision laser instead of by hand. The blade still has an ideal shape as it is ground and polished by computer to ensure perfect tapering from tip to bolster. Full tangs extend through the synthetic traditional-style handles, which are triple-riveted for strength. These knives are dishwasher-safe but handwashing is recommended to preserve the edges on the blades. The Gourmet series is an excellent alternative for those who want to own quality Wüsthof cutlery but are on a budget. --Cristina Vaamonde

Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Steak Knife Set Review

Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Steak Knife Set Feature

• Steak knives with 4-1/2-inch scimitar-like blade ideal for meat slicing
• Forged high-carbon stainless-steel blades, hand-honed for razor-like sharpness
• Traditional-style composition handle is triple-riveted for strength and permanence
• Dishwasher-safe
• Lifetime guarantee

Handsome and precise, these razor-sharp Steak Knives by Wusthof Classic easily cut the thickest steaks and chops. Made of the highest quality high-carbon stainless steel to hold a sharp edge and resist stains and rust, every Wusthof knife is hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen in Solingen, Germany. Full tangs provide maximum safety and perfect balance, and the durable riveted handles are dishwasher-safe. Wusthof's newest state of the art technology incorporates a new computer controlled method for putting the edge on Classic knives. This technology allows for an exacting edge from the tip of the knife down to the heel of the knife. With this newer precision, the knives are made sharper to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees. The knives are now sharper and this refinement increases the sharpness retention because exacting angles and edges last longer than edges sharpened by hand. The result is a knife that is 30% sharper and the ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) lasts twice as long..

Wusthof Gourmet 6-Inch Cleaver

Wusthof Gourmet 6-Inch Cleaver Review

Wusthof Gourmet 6-Inch Cleaver Feature

• 6-inch cleaver for splitting poultry, disjointing meat, cutting through ribs, and more
• Stamped from high-carbon steel with a stain-resistant alloy
• Synthetic polypropylene handle triple riveted for durability
• Precisely tapered from base to tip; made in Germany; hand wash for best results
• Measures approximately 11 by 4 by 1/2 inches; limited lifetime warranty

A heavy cleaver is an extremely useful kitchen tool for splitting poultry, disjointing meat, and cutting through rib bones with utmost efficiency. This exemplary 6-inch model, best for moderately heavy bones, provides hefty weight and sufficient blade length to cut through bone and cartilage with ease. If you find yourself sawing at joints to section poultry or repeatedly hacking spareribs to separate or cube the bones, then this model is for you. Beautifully balanced, this cleaver has a comfortably long handle plus a blade "eye" for hanging when it's not in use.

Part of the Classic series, this cleaver represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this cleaver brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners. --Arthur Boehm A formidable tool, the cleaver blade is thick, inflexible, heavy and forwardly weighted. Tough enough to chop through joints and bones.

Wusthof 8001 Under-Cabinet-Swinger Knife Storage Block

Wusthof 8001 Under-Cabinet-Swinger Knife Storage Block Review

Wusthof 8001 Under-Cabinet-Swinger Knife Storage Block Feature

• Stores knives off the counter surface
• Swings in and out from under the cabnet with a touch of a finger
• Holds 8 knives and a steel
• Mounts with only 3 screws under the cabinet
• Made of oak; 10-1/4 inches long, 7-1/4 inches wide, 3-1/2 inches high

When counter space is at a premium, this clever knife block stores cutlery underneath a kitchen cabinet. It mounts easily with a drill and three screws (included) that secure the block's "spacer" (a 1-1/4-inch-thick oak block) to the cabinet's bottom. Between the spacer, which ensures handles are comfortably lower than the cabinet, and the actual block are two steel plates connected to a pivoting device that permits the block to be rotated 360 degrees. Thus, when not needed, the block can be swiveled in any direction so knife handles don't protrude. When knives are needed, a push of a finger brings their handles from beneath the cabinet. Solidly made of oak, the block has eight slots for knives with blades up to 10 inches long and a ninth slot for a sharpening steel. Magnetic strips hold knives securely in their slots. The block measures 10-1/4 inches long, 7-1/4 inches wide, and, including the spacer, 3-1/2 inches high. --Fred Brack The Swinger block fits underneath the kitchen cupboard. It stores 8 knives and a sharpening steel. The block is on a swivel that easily mounts under your cabinet and swings out from under the cabnet so you can retreive your knives. A magnet inside of the block holds the knives securely.
