I finally decided to invest in something I enjoy, cooking. After searching, reading up on and watching videos on YouTube about the various brands and types of knives available, and watching cooking videos - I decided on Wusthoff iKon. I purchased this set, then slowly added more knives to my knife block collection over time. I quickly realized with this first set that I should have done this years ago. Great knives that hold a a sharp edge, are well-balanced, and feel good to hold. My hands are XL.
I've had many Wusthof knives and jut added these two to the collection. As usual, there is no disappointment with Wusthof - they are super sharp and the Classic IKON series offer fantastic handle that feels smooth and with a good grip. I just wish the brand ever offered sales and discounts.
The feel, balance, looks and smoothness when using can't be beat
I have been steady upgrading our old knives (over my wife's objections). I decided to go with the Classic Ikons, and they have not disappointed. They are easy to hold, well-balanced, and cut well. The karma in ignoring my wife's preference to not spend the money was that I carved off the end of my finger the first time I used one. A small compensation for what promises to be decades of cooking pleasure.
You will not regret buying this set of knives. The blade is not only sharp but also very smooth. I cut two pieces of magazine paper with both the chef knife and the peeling knife. It was an extremely comfortable experience!Except for the knife itself, I bought it at a discount ($60 cheaper), and it arrived in one day, a five-star shopping experience!
Sharp as can be cuts great
I can now join in with all the people that swear a good knife changes the way you cook. This set is perfect for starters. Since I bought these I have added the steak knife set and a butcher knife. Have my eyes on several others but in no rush. You won't regret buying these. Glides thru steaks and veggies with perfect cuts!
I bought these after having and liking wusthof in the past, but was disappointed that they weren't as sharp as i expected. They're well balanced, and ergonomic, but not quite what i expected from wusthof.
These knives are super sharp. I love this set. I use it all the time so I gave a set as a gift too.
I bought this knife set for work at a high end kitchen restaurant. After a few days of working with the knife I noticed the edge of the blade was extremely brittle and "chipping". I only used the knife for basic prep work with fruits, veggies and a few proteins like raw chicken (no bones) and steak. For how expensive the knives were I expected longer life out of the blades edge. I have another set of knives from a different company that held the edge much much longer with the same type of kitchen prep work.. Really disappointed as I did a lot of research for a new set of knives and these were coming in at top 5 from reviews. Its a shame
