We’ll help you cut through the confusion!

Has your endless search for the right chef's knife become dull?

The **Wüsthof Classic Ikon white chef's knife 20 cm** is the go-to knife when you start cooking. This knife is enhanced with a cream coloured handle. The 20 cm long blade has become a worldwide standard for traditional chef's knives. Large enough to cut large pieces of meat or cabbage and practical enough to finely chop herbs.

## The blade


Like with other Wüsthof collections the blade is made from X50CrMoV15 steel, which was sharpened according to the PEtec method, and polished by hand. This type of steel is also easy to sharpen.


Another advantage of this blade is the crop. It doesn’t extend all the way to the edge, but does separate the handle from the blade. As such you not only keep your fingers safe, you can also use the entire edge. Also great when you want to sharpen the knife.


## The handle


The handle is made from rock-solid POM. This is a shock, heat and acid proof material you can easily clean. Perfect for kitchen knives. The steel of the blade seamlessly merges with the handle. This is not only a rock-solid connection; it also provides great balance. Combined with the ergonomic shape this knife feels amazing in hand.


## Wüsthof Classic Ikon


In only a short amount of time the Wüsthof Classic Ikon collection grew out to become one of Wüsthof’s most popular collections. Not surprising as these knives perfectly combine classic and modern elements. The Classic Ikon collection does not only stand out because of its design but also because of the wonderful ergonomic handle. The knives are perfectly balanced! As such they are amazing to use.

Vooral gebruikt voor groenten en fruit, aan de zwaardere kant waardoor het makkelijker snijdt dan mijn vorig Japans mes. Heel tevreden mee.

Très bonne qualité, facilité de commande,  envoi très rapide

Das Messer ist verhältnismäßig wuchtig, aber sehr gut ausbalanciert. Daher liegt es sehr gut in der Hand (meine Handschuhgröße: 8,5) und man recht ermüdungsfrei damit arbeiten. Die Verarbeitung ist erstklassig und das Messer ist bei
Auslieferung SEHR scharf

The classic Ikon Cooks knife replaces a worn down (but still used) Global Cooks knife. It has more heft than the Global and fees good in the hand. Everything about this knife speaks quality, there is nothing I can fault. The factory edge is sharp, with a good bevel and should last a while with regular stropping.
Very happy with my purchase. Worth every penny.

General information

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.
