About the WÜSTHOF IKON Blackwood Collection
The Ikon Blackwood Series is called the jewel of the WÜSTHOF brand, and it’s not hard to see why. The Ikon series, (also called the Ikon Blackwood or African Blackwood Series) shares many similarities with the Ikon Classic line, they feature the same shape and general design and are forged from the same high-quality German steel as all WÜSTHOF blades, however, the Ikon knives each have a handle made of their namesake wood. African Blackwood (Grenadill) is one of the hardest woods in the world and as such it’s extremely durable and resistant to swelling in changing humidity and temperatures. Beyond looking great, these handles are contoured for ultimate comfort and perfectly balanced with the blade. The Ikon Blackwood Series has fewer knives within it than the Ikon Classic Series, however, it contains all the basics needed to build a well-rounded collection. Between the high-quality steel of the blade, full tang, bolster, and unique handles, these knives come in at the highest price point of all the WÜSTHOF lines. For those who are willing to invest in these amazing knives, you will get beautiful cutlery that is built to last and will certainly become the jewels of your cutlery collection.
