Known as the “jack of all trades”, the Classic Ikon 9” Cook’s Knife conquers any challenge in the kitchen. This all-purpose knife is the most important tool in the Crème series designed for a variety of cutting tasks. This long cook’s knife is designed for cutting large vegetables and extra thick pieces of meat as well as transporting food to the pot.
Each Classic Ikon Knife is forged from a single block of High Carbon Stainless Steel and tempered to 58° Rockwell Hardness for lasting edge retention, integral blade strength, and ease of maintenance. The Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20% sharper with twice the edge retention for a knife that will last a lifetime. Wash by hand only.
The knife’s black contoured handle rests comfortably in the hand while the small curvatures along the grip ensure a secure hold while prepping food. The handle is made from a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The half bolster allows for the knife to be honed and sharpened the entire length of the blade while the heel bolster provides added balance.
