Create culinary masterpieces in your home with this professional-quality Wusthof Classic Ikon peeling knife, also known as a Bird's Beak knife. The curved edge of this knife is ideally suited for peeling, cleaning or shaping any fruit or vegetable with a rounded surface. This 2-3/4-inch blade is complemented by a riveted black handle design with a contoured shape to add comfort and control, and is backed by a lifetime warranty. A culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines, the Wusthof Classic Ikon line features blades that are precision-forged from one solid piece of steel and tempered to optimum sharpness. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife, which adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon also has a unique forward bolster, which is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. A full tang extends through the handle for perfect balance and handling. Made in Solingen, Germany--The Cutlery Capital of the World--Wusthof knives are made from a special blend of German steel and each blade is precisely tempered, which allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen without the need to be sent away for maintenance. Wusthof also employs a unique compound angle that tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge. Generally, the construction technique and the materials used to manufacture make all Wusthof knives dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended. Wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use.
