The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Utility knife 16 cm is a versatile mid-sized knife for produce, sandwiches and preparation that sits between a paring knife and chef's knife.

Key Features

  • 16 cm blade sized for fruit, vegetables, sandwiches and small proteins
  • Fine straight edge
  • Precision-forged full-tang construction with a half bolster and rear bolster
  • Wüsthof stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC
  • Contoured, triple-riveted synthetic handle
  • Made in Solingen, Germany

Why Choose This Product

Choose this when a paring knife is too short but a chef's knife feels excessive. The slim straight edge gives accurate slices and easy tip control. Its mid-length format is especially useful for sandwiches, fruit and small proteins. Within the Classic Ikon range, this model stands out for a more sculpted, handle-led alternative to Classic, with excellent balance and full-edge access for sharpening.
Simply Hospitality Notes

This is the useful middle ground for quick prep, sandwiches and smaller produce. It should complement a chef's knife and paring knife rather than duplicate either one.

Product Guide

Use this for compact slicing tasks where a chef's knife is cumbersome: fruit, sandwiches, small vegetables and portioning. Choose a serrated version for resistant skins and a plain edge for clean precision cuts.

Brand Guide

About Wüsthof: Wüsthof has made knives in Solingen, Germany since 1814. Its collection ranges from lighter laser-cut Gourmet knives to precision-forged Classic, Ikon, Crafter, Performer and newer everyday lines, allowing cooks to choose by weight, handle feel and finish rather than brand name alone. Quality edges should be hand washed, dried immediately and maintained regularly.

Product Details

Its intermediate scale gives more reach than a paring knife without the bulk of a full chef's knife, making it useful for quick prep and bench-side service tasks. The Classic Ikon specification pairs precision-forged full-tang construction with a half bolster and rear bolster and contoured, triple-riveted synthetic handle to shape balance, durability and maintenance in daily use.

Best Suited To

  • Fruit, vegetables, sandwiches and small proteins
