Wusthof's Classic Ikon line of cutlery combines the age-old tradition of German craftsmanship with modern innovation for a knife that keeps the best of the past and introduces the best of today. Classic Ikon knives are forged from a proprietary blend of German steel, developed over the course of nearly two hundred years, and the razor-sharp edges are laser controlled and tested for the best possible performance. The unique contoured handle design features a classic triple-riveted look blended with a contemporary ergonomic shape that provides exceptional touch and control, making these Wusthof knives truly an extension of your arm. The 8-Inch Cook's Knife is known as the manual food processor, and is a tool that no kitchen should be without. The most essential of all kitchen knives, it is suitable for slicing, mincing, dicing, and chopping a wide variety of foodstuffs.
