The WSTHOF Classic Ikon 8″ Bread Knife is, fittingly, an icon among knives, and one of the more important knives to have in your kitchen. Beyond crusty loaves of bread and soft dinner rolls, this Classic Ikon bread knife is also perfect for slicing into hard-skinned fruits and vegetables. The serrated edge of the Classic Ikon bread knife works like the teeth of a saw, yet much finer this means minimal pressure is required for clean, even cuts.

Founded in 1814 in Solingen, Germany, Wusthof is an expert knifemaker, family-owned for 7 generations. Known affectionately as the “The City of Blades,” Solingen has been home to master blacksmiths for over 2,000 years. With such an illustrious history, the name Solingen is protected by “The Solingen Decree,” which ensures and indicates the exacting standards of knives made in the area. The company’s red trident represents its three core values professional chefs can expect to encounter in every Wusthof blade: passion, diligence, and perfection.
