Wusthof Ikon 4-Piece Steak Set
A thoughtful gift idea for newlyweds or anyone setting up a first-time kitchen, this set of four high-quality steak knives by Wusthof makes it easy to smoothly slice through juicy steak hot off the grill. In fact, the knives' sharp blades and pointed tips allow for effortlessly navigating through a variety of menu items. All four knives come in a handy storage box, which measures approximately 13 by 6 by 5 inches and that provides indents to keep each knife stored securely in place.As part of the Wusthof Ikon collection, each knife comes precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength and balance. Laser tested for accuracy, the unique, compound angle of the blade tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to create a sturdy, yet extremely sharp cutting surface. It also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife enhanced strength and flexibility. Even more, Wusthof knives offer sharp, precisely tempered blades that allow the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time (while still being easy to maintain). Another thoughtful detail includes the full-tang handle, which comes riveted for strength; ergonomically designed for a secure, comfortable grip; and handcrafted from African Grenadill wood (African Blackwood)--one of the hardest types of wood, which expands and contracts less than most traditional woods. Ikon knives also feature a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance during use for added control, as well as a forward bolster that makes it possible to sharpen the complete length of the blade. Made in Solingen Germany, "The Cutlery Capital of the World", Wusthof knives carry a limited lifetime warranty and should be hand washed for best results.
