Forged from one piece of specially tempered high carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength, the Wüsthof Classic Ikon 4-Piece Steak Knife Set (9716) delivers long-lasting, extreme sharpness, thanks to WÜSTHOF’s Precision Edge Technology. This set includes 4 WÜSTHOF Classic Ikon 4 1/2" Steak Knives. Instead of using a serrated blade to saw through a fantastic cut of beef, Wüsthof employs a straight-edge blade that slices cleanly, allowing for exquisite presentation and superior feel. Although they need to be sharpened a little more often than a serrated steak knife, the results are far superior and worth the effort. With these, you’ll be ready to dig in without trepidation at every steak-bearing opportunity. As with all Wüsthof Classic Ikon knives, these feature a German high-carbon stainless steel blade, a precision forged bolster, and a durable moulded handle that will last long enough to be an heirloom for your great grandchildren. So stop with the hacking! Let Wüsthof help you in your quest for steak nirvana. If you are looking for a larger set, see the Wusthof Gourmet 6 Piece Steak Knife Set.
