The jewel of the Wüsthof collection, the IKON line features signature handles designed from Grenadill wood, or African Blackwood – one of the hardest and heaviest woods in the world. The IKON full-tang blades are precision-forged from a single piece of exclusive, high-carbon stainless steel and feature a distinctive double bolster. This IKON 7 Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is designed with a thinner blade than the traditional chef’s knife, and gradually curves up at the very end providing a straighter edge. The hollow edge is crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations, which create small air pockets between the blade and the food. These small air pockets gently push food off the blade and reduce friction and drag. This knife allows cooks to effortlessly prep a wide array of fresh produce, including starchy vegetables like potatoes, which tend to stick to a knife’s blade.
