Wusthof Classic Ikon 16-Piece Block Set

2010-07-25T15:10:00.000-04:00

The Classic Ikon 16-piece block set comes with a 3-1/2-inch parer, 6 each of 4-1/2-inch steak knife, 5-inch santoku, 5-inch serrated utility, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch carver, 8-inch cooks knife, 10-inch steel, kitchen shears and a 17 slot block.

Classic Ikon is culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines. The combined riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape to add comfort and control. The handles are made of a durable synthetic material that is extremely comfortable to use.

The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife. This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curved inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade.

Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance.

A unique compound angle, not seen in many knives, tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

Wusthof Classic Ikon 16-Piece Block Set is currently available to ship from Amazon.com

Strathwood Camano All-Weather Wicker Arm Chair With Cushion

2009-04-24T11:25:00.000-04:00

Strathwood produces a handsome collection of wicker furniture for outdoor use, like this Camano All-Weather Wicker Arm Chair With Cushion. Generous enough to curl up on, the seat of this mocha brown lounge chair measures 30-by-24 inches, and features an extra-thick, four-inch cushion. The body of the chair is tightly woven of flat strips of synthetic wicker, including the right-angled arms and straight back, with a modest sheen that sheds drizzle or drips. Block-wood legs and metal reinforcement under the seat provide increased durability and strength.

Adding finesse to the look and comfort of the armchair is the natural-white seat cushion. The 100 percent cotton cover unzips in the back to remove for cleaning, while the polyurethane foam insert retains its give and shape over time. The lounge chair looks particularly elegant in a sunroom or on a covered deck when two are grouped with the matching wicker sofa and coffee table. No assembly is required.

This collection of fine wicker furniture will be the perfect addition to your porch or deck.

The new selections include masala chai, chocolate chai, spiced apple chai, thai chai, bengal green chai, and rooibos vanilla chai. Discover them all!

This grill is just the ticket for small patios and apartment balconies.
