The Wusthof Ikon Blackwood series consists of various professional knives with a modern design that are completely forged from one piece of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. Features a triple riveted wooden handle with a double bolster. While the standard position of the bolster between the handle and blade is an integral part of a precision forged knife providing heft and balance, the second bolster at the end of the handle completes the feel and ties in modern design.

The Wusthof Ikon Blackwood cutlery series features handles made of a rare African Blackwood known as Grenadill, which is selectively harvested in the northern provinces of Mozambique. This high quality wood is usually used for manufacturing musical instruments because of its extreme density and high insensitivity to moisture. These properties make it a perfect blend of durability, comfort, elegance and compliments the premium solid high carbon stainless steel forged blades beautifully.
