User questions & answers

Question:	Is it dishwasher safe
Answer:	The viscosity is iso32. That's equivalent to Saw 10w.
Question:	does it come with a cover for the blade
Answer:	The small cans have a tab on top that you're supposed to be able to pull and have the top come off. Good luck with that! It is so tight, I have bruised a finger and broken two nails trying to get these cans open! And if you try to use a can opener, the tab gets in the way. I wish they'd redo these tops. Somebody is gonna get hurt! LOL
Question:	What changes have been made in newer version
Answer:	Serving Size 2 oz (56g - About 1/4 cup) Serving Per Container About 2. Sodium 140mg per 2 ounce serving. Per ounce would be 70mg. If you would like to further discuss, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly at [email protected].
Question:	Is it good for left-handed cooks? (blade sharp on both sides
Answer:	It is in a tin can with a paper label wrapped around it. BTW the tuna taste great.

User questions & answers

Question:	How is this at sliding finely chopped leafy greens off the cutting board with the spine? The handle has a hump and raises concerns of a gap. Thanks
Answer:	The Ergonomically Contoured Handle was made of a piece of steel around with high polymer material. It is slip-resistant and well balanced, which offers a great grip.
Question:	Blade width? Not length, don't tell me 8 inches. Width at its widest
Answer:	No worries. It is absolutely stainless
Question:	What is the angle of the knife's edge
Answer:	German steel, made in China. Very well built.
Question:	Is there a difference in the blade with the Ikon vs the classic wusthof
Answer:	Handle is military grade high polymer. Recommend hand washing, but can be put in dishwasher. Autoclaving is probably detrimental to the handle. Why the necessity to autoclave?

User questions & answers

Question:	Difference between this chef knife to wusthof classic 8-inch cook's knife
Answer:	I recommend wüsthof but that's my personal preference. I have all Wüsthof knives. But its all about what suits you.
Question:	My knife says "classic wustof" on the blade while others (picture) say "wustof classic" with more information. is there a difference? just curious
Answer:	a Chefs knife is longer and more curved for chopping, slicing, and dicing food where a cooks knife is used for food prep. They are both very sharp out of the box. I don't think the knife police will stop by and tell you that you are using the wrong knife. Just use what feels good in your hand while working in the kitchen. I use the large knife when cutting larger items like a tomato so that I can go all the way through it. I use the smaller one when cutting smaller vegi's
Question:	How big is this knife
Answer:	The Classic costs about 2X the Chef's. The Classic has a full steel tang. Look at where the blade joins the handle in the Amazon photos. See the difference? I didn't until I bought a Chef's.
Question:	where to contact wusthof in u.s.a
Answer:	The Gourmet line are stamped versus the Classic line which are forged.

Care and handling of Genesis cutlery.

The performance of a knife can be diminished if not cared for properly.

Cutlery should never be washed in a dishwasher because intense heat and harsh detergents may cause the handle to deteriorate. Carefully wash by hand with soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft towel. Do not soak or submerge in water for long periods of time or use chlorine bleach because it can pit and discolor the blade. Avoid soaking in aluminum or stainless steel sinks because these metals may cause pitting on the blade.

Store in a cutlery block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent injuries.
