The most versatile of all parers: for mincing shallots, onions, and herbs as well as cleaning and cutting vegetables. Based on the best-selling Wusthof Classic Series, each Wusthof Classic Ikon Knife is drop forged from a single piece of chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel and tempered to an optimal Rockwell 58 hardness. This specialized high-carbon, stain-resistant alloy ensures that the cutting edge of the knife is both razor sharp and easy to resharpen. The knife blade is skilfully honed by hand to an incredibly sharp edge, the entire length of which can be sharpened due to the partial bolster. The blade is ground thinner than usual, so there is less resistance when chopping and slicing. Finally, a computer-controlled grinding and polishing of the blade ensure that there is perfect tapering from bolster to tip providing you with a knife with maximum strength, balance, and heft.
