Wusthof 1040330412 Details

Give your kitchen an extra edge with this Wusthof 1040330412 Classic Ikon 4 1/2" forged utility knife with POM handle. This utility knife is great for mincing shallots, onions, and herbs, as well as cutting vegetables or small meats. Smaller than a cook's knife but larger than a paring knife, it is the perfect size for a variety of kitchen tasks. Wusthof's Classic Ikon line features forged, full tang blades, elegantly contoured POM handles, and a double-bolster design for professional-level heft and balance.

Each piece from the Classic Ikon line features a full tang that is triple-riveted to the handle, offering the user precision-level control. Classic Ikon handles are elegantly contoured to offer a comfortable grip and are made of durable polyoxymethylene (POM), which has a tighter molecular structure that allows it to resist fading and discoloration. This collection's double-bolster design provides excellent balance and heft in hand - the half bolster allows the full length of the blade to be sharpened, while the heel bolster adds stability. Wusthof's Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention, which helps keep your cutlery sharp and minimizes downtime spent honing and sharpening edges.
