The ikon Tomato knife is serrated to cut the skin and then sharp enough to cut with out crushing the fruit. The forktip on this knife is also handing for serving. Wusthof Classic Ikon is 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. | | | Features: | |

Worth every penny and moreJan 02, 2011

I have two of these (make sure you spring for a few extra bucks and get this one with the curved handle) and could easily use two more as I cook everything from scratch. Not only the best ever for slicing tomatoes, but also excellent for other veggies, and even slicing cake or cutting cornbread or brownies. My first one I purchased three years ago and goes daily into the dishwasher which any knife afficiando will say do not do. No negative effects whatsoever. Tip: You will find this line of knives in gourmet cooking stores but you will not ever find on sale or cheaper than listed here.
The mother of all serrated knivesOct 14, 2009

A superb knife with excellent cutting properties, splendid in the hand, a standard by which all other such knives may be judged. I have never had a finer kitchen knife.
