Wusthof Classic Ikon Black 3-Piece Essentials Set, Including Chef's Knife, Parer and Shear

Product Review

In the kitchen there are some tools that you use everyday. The Wusthof Classic Ikon 3 piece Essentials set combines these three tools in one set. The 8 Cooks knife is your work-horse knife that is used to chop and slice and the 3.5 inch parer does all the smaller jobs of peeling and paring. The Come Apart kitchen Shear is durable and can cut everything from string to cardboard it comes apart for easy cleaning. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility. Located in "The Cutlery Capital of the World", Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned.
