Product Description

The Classic Ikon hollow-ground santoku combines the benefits of a cooks knife and a vegitable cleaver. It is a fine knife for chopping, slicing and dicing. The kullened edge allows foods to realease easier from the blade and also enables you to cut with less friction. The Wusthof Classic Ikon is a culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines. The combined riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape to add comfort and control. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife. This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster 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. 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. Throughout it’s history, Wusthof has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. 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. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. 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.. Wusthof Classic Ikon 7-Inch Santoku, Hollow Edge, Black. The handle is made of a highly durable synthetic material – polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration.

5 Stars
The knife that gets the most love in my kitchen. Balanced, lightweight, and a perfectly designed handle. Comfortable!
This is the knife that gets the most love in my kitchen. It's so comfortable to use. It's balanced, lightweight and the handle is perfectly shaped. The blade runs the full length. This knife keeps my hands from fatigue with produce sculptures like the one I made for Halloween book club when we read Stephen King's It, pictured below. Pennywise has never been so healthy. People were hesitant to eat it. Weird. ;)Between this, their serrated bread knife, boning knife, and paring knife, you have a dream knife collection. I went with Global for a cleaver because that's a great cleaver for the price, but keep the rest Wusthof.I've enjoyed my Wusthofs for 20 years. This one is much newer. The only trouble I've had was with a blade and handle separating on one that the blade didn't run the length (This one does!!!). I contacted Wusthof and they replaced it. Fantastic customer service. Worth the spend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wuesthof Santoku - 4176
Reviewed in Italy on July 28, 2017
Perfetta fusione di qualità tedesca e design in stile giapponese. Il Santoku nasce come coltello ideale per la preparazione di cibi asiatici, ma si rivela ottimo anche per quelli occidentali.
Eccellente lavorazione come da abitudine della serie Classic Ikon di Woesthof: 170 mm di lama forgiata in unico pezzo in acciaio inossidabile martensitico X50CrMoV15 che attraversa tutto il coltello, gusci esterni perfettamente lavorati per un risultato uniforme, senza giunture, nel complesso un coltello di livello assoluto.

Potrebbe esser utilizzato come coltello principale in ogni cucina in opzione/aggiunta al classico coltello [[ASIN:B000YMURSE Wuesthof Classic Ikon Cuoco]], rispetto a quest'ultimo richiede una tecnica di taglio di livello leggermente superiore, ha una lunghezza di lama inferiore, ma grazie all'alveolatura durante il taglio sulla lama si creano delle sacche d'aria che impediscono alle verdure tagliate a fette di rimanere attaccate alla lama. Come ogni coltello deve esser comprato in base all'uso che si intende farne, forse come primo coltello quello da Cuoco rappresenta una scelta migliore.

Come visibile nelle foto il peso complessivo è di 200 g tondi con un punto di equilibrio leggermente spostato verso il manico: il coltello non è perfettamente bilanciato, ma per la sua particolare tipologia ha un buon bilanciamento.

PRO:
- qualità percepita
- eccellente lavorazione
- qualità dell'acciaio della lama
- design della lama funzionale
- peso
- prezzo (forse il miglior coltello sotto i 100 euro)

CONTRO:
- bilanciamento
- richiede una buona tecnica di taglio
- richiede un'ottima tecnica per mantenerlo affilato

Alcune note:
- più un coltello è affilato più è sicuro
- questo coltello DEVE esser utilizzato con una presa "pinch grip" e tagliando gli alimenti non perpendicolarmente, ma seguendo il filo della lama (inclinato di circa 15°)
- coltelli di questo livello DEVONO esser affilati con una pietra, lasciate perdere acciaini o affila coltelli che rovinano il coltello piuttosto che affilarlo
- quando lo acquistate investite qualche euro in un proteggi lama come questo [[ASIN:B001FXF0EW Wuesthof 9920-5]]

Prezzo al momento della recensione: 82,65 euro
