Refined WÜSTHOF

Choose Classic Ikon

Classic Ikon keeps forged German construction but introduces the sculpted handle and distinctive double-bolster design for a different balance and feel in the hand. Explore Classic Ikon

Prefer a Santoku?

A Different Approach to the Everyday Knife Set The WÜSTHOF Asian 2 Piece Set swaps the traditional chef's knife for a 17cm hollow-edge Santoku and pairs it with an 8cm paring knife.
