Wusthof Ikon
This relatively exclusive Wüsthof collection is characterized above all by the remarkable handle material used. The handles are African black wood. This is an incredibly valuable wood, used primarily to make wooden instruments such as oboes and clarinets. The wood fibers make each product unique. In addition, the wood is very solid, dense and sustainable. Sharp knives are essential for kitchen lovers. Sharpening knives regularly is essential to ensure they continue to perform as they should. Also, doing this lengthens the life of the knife. This disadvantage of sharpening is that little by little material is removed from the cutting edge. But this is not always necessary: sometimes you just have to push the burr back. That's when the steel can come in handy.
