Wusthof - Classic Ikon Chinese Chef's Knife 18 cm

The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Chinese Chef's Knife 18 cm is a powerful and versatile knife, ideal for chopping vegetables, herbs and cutting meat. Forged from a single piece of high-quality Wüsthof steel, this knife offers a perfect balance of precision and strength. Whether you're chopping a cabbage in seconds, cutting wafer-thin slices of tomato or transferring pre-packed ingredients to the pan, this knife delivers excellent performance. The wide blade is not only sharp, but also offers the advantage of a large cutting surface, ideal for scooping up ingredients.

At 7" long and 3" wide, this knife is perfect for all your kitchen cutting needs. The fine edge is exceptionally sharp, but avoid using it to cut through bones or hard fruits like coconuts, where a European cleaver or butcher knife would be better.
