The Wusthof Ikon Sandwich Knife is the perfect in-between knife that can handle all your medium-sized tasks. It is a utility knife best used for prep work that is too big for a paring knife, yet still too small for a chef’s knife. Cut tomatoes, core apples, and slice cheeses and sausages with this perfect mid-sized knife. The jewel of the WÜSTHOF collection, IKON has beautifully designed handles made of Grenadill wood. Grenadill wood, or African Blackwood, is one of the hardest and heaviest woods in the world. IKON full-tang knives are precision-forged from a single piece of an exclusive high-carbon stainless steel and feature a distinctive, double bolster.
