Smaller than a chef's knife and larger than a paring knife, the WÜSTHOF Ikon 4.5" Utility Knife is the perfect blade for a myriad of tasks. Think of this handy utility knife as a slightly longer, just-as-versatile paring knife with an aptitude for chopping shallots, onions, herbs, tender vegetables, and smaller cuts of meat. Forged from a single piece of specially tempered WÜSTHOF steel in Solingen, Germany (the cutlery capital of the world) and fitted with ergonomic handles made from sustainably grown, water-resistant African Blackwood, the Ikon series is all about luxury craftsmanship. The final edge work of each blade is honed by hand by one of WÜSTHOF's expert knife artisans, meaning every exquisite knife in this series is also a prepping, plating, and serving workhorse.
