CLASSIC IKON knives feature a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance and beauty. The handle is made of a highly durable synthetic material – Polyoxymethylene (POM) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The elegant shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable grip. The WÜSTHOF CLASSIC IKON 5-inch Hollow Edge Nakiri (model 4187-7/13), a full tang Nakiri knife, precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stain-free steel, perfect for mincing, slicing and dicing vegetables. Designed with a 10-degree cutting angle and features a long straight edge, ideal for slicing thinner cuts of vegetables for a stir-fry or marinated salad. The hollow edge is crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations to create small air pockets between the blade and food to reduce friction and drag.
