  • Multi use knife
Size: 10 Inch Color: Black, Stainless Steel
I love the balance of the knife. But, what I like most about the Wusthof Ikon Classic line of knives is the ergonomics. The handle is very comfortable to hold, even during those instances where one must grasp the handle tightly.

  • Great Knife, wish I had known sooner
Size: 6 Inch Color: Black, Stainless Steel
Once again I have to edit a review with new information. I just received a new henckles professional four star wide cook's knife. In my review I make a lot of comments abut the 15 degree angle of sharpness vs. the 20 degree. Now I am forced to reveal that I can't tell the difference. The Henckle's feels just as sharp and easily passes the paper test. I guess I was comparing my new Wusthof to used 20 degree class knives, although they had been sharpened. I still like the Wusthof but the new Hencjke's is just as good and the handle is excellent. Froom the picture I assumed the handle was the old style flat handle but this one is much bigger, fatter, and fits my hand just as well. Like I concluded, the best way to buy a knife is to go somewhere like ----- where you can feel what;s best for you and then buy it on amazon. When the Asian knives came out with their 15 degrees of sharpness, I bought at least a dozen, mostly Shun and some Myobi. But now here comes Wusthof with 14 degrees of sharpness ( you can't tell the difference with a bigger handle an thicker blade (from the top). The result is a more comfortable heavier knife like I am use to using. I still love my shun knives but not quite as much as this. My all time favorite is the Shun Ken Onion chefs knives but shun and ken onion have apparently parted company. The ken onion knives are just called ken onion and are made by a different company. The handles are shorter, too short for me with my XL hands. They are just not as comfortable and not as heavy as the shun ken onion. You can still get them but I don't know for how long. For me these new Wusthof Ikon classic knives will do just fine. I don't understand the 2 star comment. The handle is solid and comfortable. Put next to a Shun they are just as sharp, heavier and feel more solid. I wish I had not spent so much on the Asian knives so I could afford a few more of these. I probably will buy a few anyway and I do like m shun knives, just not as much as these. Both are 5 star knives. You should probably check them out at a store before ordering online to see which you prefer. Of course there are manyother knives but for me the Shun is the best Asian knife and these are the best Euro/American style. ... show more

  • An Ideal Handle and Razor Sharp Edge Puts This Knife Ahead in Comfort, Style, and Use
Size: 8 Inch Color: Black
The handle looks cool, but its appeal is far beyond aesthetics because it fits a hand like a glove. This is one of the more expensive knives I had been looking for a long time, however, when it had a price drop, I gathered my Amazon points and rang it up. Upon arrival, it's edge was razor sharp. That means that it was able to push cut right through glossy paper with ease. There were no jagged edges, sloppy trails, or stoppage. It glided right through the paper until the whole page was shredded. It According to other website descriptions this chef knife from the Ikon line has a 58 Rockwell Hardness and a 14 degree cutting edge, as compared to other European knives which typically have a cutting edge around 20 degrees. This means that the knife can have easier time cutting through foods. It's one of those knives that I always wanted when I started collecting culinary knives, and, now that I have it, it lives up to the hype and to its price. These knives are made to last with proper care and I'm thrilled to have it in my collection. The packaging was the only weak point. You'll need a sheath or some device for proper storage when it arrives. My knife arrived in plastic and a cardboard sheath. I tried to keep it in there until I got a sheath for it, but I put it in the drawer at a bad angle and the tip of the knife slid into the wood frame above the cabinet. There was no force behind this and it slid in with ease. DON'T DO THAT. Knife came out fine, still sharp, but it's best to avoid these situations in the first place. ... show more

This knife is so sharp you might accidentally cut your finger off if you even glance away for a second! Fantastic piece of German steel, as expected.

  • Works as mentioned - top Quality chef knife
Size: 8 Inch Color: Black
I am a self trained chef and I have been using stamped knives all my life. finally when I got the money to buy some thing with out holding it in my hands, I went by Amazon reviews. Took a risk ordering it sitting in India. I must say that every word of whats written about this knife is true and is a really TOP QUALITY tool to have in your kitchen. I have been cooking for 17 years and I cant tell you how effortless it is to slice through just about any thing. The knife slices through chicken bones, meat cartilage, fat and most vegetables effortlessly if you know how to use it. It is razor sharp out of the box and I had to hone it only after 3 months of daily use. I use a acrylic cutting board and I will move to a wooden one that should make the edges last longer. Only caution is to handle it carefully while washing as it can slice your fingers pretty bad. The fit and finish of the knife is top quality. I have large hands and the knife is a good fit how ever if you want your wife to use it or people with smaller hands then perhaps the 6 inch version is more appropriate. Veggies don't stick to the sides and I would say don't pay the extra price for the hollow edge... The knife guard would be a good investment along with this knife as I had a problem storing it once it was out of the pack. I now have a custom bamboo case which holds other knives. I bought a DMT honing steel, fine grit (the green one) to straighten the edges and it works fine. I use a 3000/6000 grit whetstone purchased from the local market for sharpening.. 5 stars for Wusthof. ... show more
