Wusthof Classic Ikon 8" Offset Deli Knife

The Wusthof Classic Ikon-8" Offset Deli Knife belongs to the Classic Ikon Series of professional cutlery. As the name suggests, this knife excels at cutting breads, meats, cheeses and tomatoes cleanly and comfortably- it's just a natural for any type of sandwich. But in truth, the reverse serrated edge design and elevated offset angle of the handle combine to create a knife that will carve and slice anything very well and it may well get more use than any other knife in a cook's kitchen, except maybe for the Chef's knife.
The offset and angled blade afford the user a comfortable cutting position with ample knuckle room (the traditional bread knife's major limitation). It is ideal for slicing any fruits and any vegetables (but particularly softer vegetables and crisp or tough leafy greens). The pointed tip has a non-serrated edge that further increases the blade's versatility, and is effective at performing fine slices of pickles and garlic or dicing onions. This scalloped-type serration can slice meats easily without tearing and will laugh at the tough skins of melons, winter squash, citrus, nightshade vegetables, avocados- you name it! And like all Wusthof forged blades, it is backed by a manufacturer's lifetime warranty. Handwash only. Measures 13.2" l x 2.2" w x .8" h.
