WSTHOF Classic Ikon Precision Double-Serrated Bread Knife / 23cm

An ergonomic bread knife made of highest-quality German steel, with a half-bolster that makes the knife feel more balanced. —DETAILS—

WSTHOF knives have been manufactured in the city of Solingen, Germany since 1814, and are recognised around the world for superior craftsmanship. Every knife in the Classic Ikon range is fully forged from a single piece of stainless steel so it has a full tang, which creates excellent blade-to-handle balance. The high-carbon blade undergoes a process in which the steels molecular structure is realigned to be stronger and more robust, honed twice by hand and once by laser to ensure a perfect finish. As a result, it is extremely durable and retains sharpness well. What sets a Classic Ikon knife apart is its handle, which is designed to align with the curve of your hand as you grip it, as well as bolsters in the top and bottom of the handle for additional balance. The long length of the blade also means that the knife glides through bread in one motion, minimising damage to the loaf.

—BENEFITS— The weight of the knife plus the double serration means that it glides through the bread with very little pressure. It’s effortless to cut right through the bottom crust, minimising scratches to the chopping board.’
