The Wusthof Classic Ikon 2-Piece Asian Starter Set includes a 7-Inch Hollow Ground Santoku and 3-Inch Straight Edge Paring Knife. The 7-Inch Hollow Ground Santoku Knife has quickly become one of our most popular knife styles. The alternarting cullens (hollow ground edge) create tiny air pockets that reduce friction as the knife cuts through the food, letting the actual blade edge work more efficiently. The overall agility of the santoku knife knife makes it perfect for vegetables, fruits, lean meats and much more. The 3-Inch Classic Ikon Paring Knife is ideal for small jobs such as mincing, paring, peeling and other intricate cuts. The Wusthof Classic Ikon 2-Piece Asian Set is the perfect starter set or makes a great addition to a pre-existing kitchen cutlery collection. 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.
