Maintenance and Care

To maintain the Wüsthof Classic Ikon Vegetable Knife, it is recommended to clean it by hand and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using dishwashers or aggressive cleaning agents like scouring pads. To protect the blade's edge, do not leave the knife submerged in water and store it safely when not in use. For optimal performance, cut on softer surfaces rather than hard materials like glass, metal, or bamboo. Regular sharpening with a whetstone, sharpening steel, or knife sharpener will keep the blade in prime condition.
