W’STHOF Classic Ikon 2 Piece Carving Set

WuSTHOF knives have been manufactured in the city of Solingen, Germany since 1814. The company, which is still run by the founding family, takes quality very seriously ‘ which explains why their knives consistently feature in ‘best of’ lists. Every knife in the Classic Ikon range is fully forged from a single piece of stainless steel so it has a full tang, which allows for excellent blade-to-handle balance. The high-carbon blade undergoes a process in which the steel’s molecular structure is realigned to be stronger and more robust, honed twice by hand and once by laser to ensure a perfect finish. This laser finish is the result of a proprietary technology called PEtec, which makes blades 20% sharper, with double the edge retention. The riveted ergonomic handle features a half bolster that splits the weight of the knife between the middle and end, and allows the entire length of the knife to be sharpened ‘ which extends the durability of the blade (as the edge will never become uneven after time and sharpening). The handle’s rounded shape allows for a more comfortable grip. This set is suitable for both professional and home use, especially for carving the Christmas turkey or Sunday roasts.
