Wusthof Sharpening Steel 'Classic Ikon' 26cm

The Classic Ikon Sharpening Steel 26cm from Wüsthof is your best kitchen companion for keeping your favorite knives sharp. Even the best knives will dull over time. That's why it's important to hone your knife before every serious cutting task. The sharpening steel realigns the burrs in the edge. How do you choose the right length for a sharpening steel? A sharpening steel should be at least as long as the longest knife you want to sharpen with it.

The Classic Ikon series by Wüsthof

The Classic Ikon series is arguably Wüsthof's most elegant collection. The ergonomic handle is made of highly durable synthetic plastic, which prevents fading and discoloration due to its tight molecular structure. The knives are precisely forged from a single piece of steel. These knives feature stainless steel rivets for added durability and a double bolster for professional weight, beauty, and balance. This line is made from high-quality German steel X50CrMoV15 and has a hardness of 58 Rockwell.

Razor sharp thanks to PEtec

Thanks to 'Wüsthof Precision Edge Technology', the knife stays sharp for a very long time. This means that these knives are sharpened with laser precision. As a result, your new knife leaves the factory razor sharp, and this ensures that your knife is easy to resharpen. Because the knife has a hardness of 58 Rockwell, it is also easy to keep sharp. To do this, regularly run your knife against a sharpening steel.

Balance and hygiene

This knife is made from a single laser-cut piece of steel. The handle is seamlessly integrated with the blade, preventing dirt from settling and thus keeping the knife very hygienic. The handle is made of plastic and secured with rivets. There is a double bolster between the handle and the blade, which provides balance and safety.
