The jewel of the WÜSTHOF collection, Ikon has beautifully designed handles made of Grenadill wood. Grenadill wood, or African Blackwood, is one of the hardest and heaviest woods in the world. WÜSTHOF Ikon full-tang knives are precision-forged from a single piece of exclusive high-carbon stainless steel and feature a distinctive double bolster.
I bought these for my wife as an anniversary present and they are hands down the best knives we've ever used. Not only do they retain their sharpness, they are exquisitely crafted and feel as good as they look. We use them daily in cooking and they can easily handle anything thrown their way.. Andrew J..
