Classic Ikon 4.5” Utility Knife

Classic Ikon 4.5” Utility Knife by Wüsthof
The Buy Me Once Verdict

Classic Ikon knives feature a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft alongside exceptional balance and beauty. The handle is made of Polyoxymethylene, which has a tight molecular structure making it highly durable and resistant to discoloration. The 4.5” Utility Knife is precision-forged from a single blank of high carbon stainless steel tempered to 58⁰ Rockwell. Smaller than a cook’s knife but larger than a paring knife, this is the perfect tool for a magnitude of tasks. A utility knife is much like a versatile paring knife, perfect for mincing shallots, onions and herbs as well as cutting vegetables or cutting small meats. Wüsthof is a world-renowned German knife brand, founded over 200 years and seven generations ago. Every Wüsthof knife is backed by a lifetime warranty and bears the prestigious hallmark ‘made in Solingen,’ which is no trifling endorsement. Their unique Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) uses computer-controlled robotics to yield a blade 20% sharper with twice the edge retention of a standard knife.
