Classic Ikon 6" Chef's Knife

The knife is beautiful and sharp. My wife loved this gift for Christmas. She’s only told me about 50x that it’s an amazing knife. Now to add more Wüsthof knives to our collection.

If you can get a decent deal on this knife, it’s really the best partial bolster Western style chef knife. I think you can get for the money. It’s just a no-brainer. I like that. It’s only a partial bolster not a full bolster. The handle and the blade designer excellent, and just worked so well. You won’t regret it.

I love Wüsthof, particularly this knife. I actually bought the same knife 25 years ago and bought this as a Christmas gift for my niece's boyfriend. Needless to say, when he opened his gift, he was so excited and said the same thing I did, you can't beat German Steel, particularly Wüsthof German steel. I can do all the fine cutting with this knife that most can do with other smaller knives. The knife is well balanced both weight and weight distribution, defi Italy ease to use,perfect size, durable (again mine is still perfect after 25 years) and it stays sharp. I do recommend getting the Wüsthof sharpener for after you use it on onions or tomatoes since they can cause any blade to dull.

These are great knives and my live-in chef(aka spouse who loves to cook) appreciated these tremendously! It's a great pair to get into this level of quality knives gradually when full sets are in the four-figure range. Arrived FAST! Super sharp and great condition.

An incredible knife. It is very sharp and a pleasure to cut with

Quite literally the best knives I’ve ever owned. Definitely worth the investment. They cut beautifully, super sharp, easy to care for, great weight in the handle, comfortable grip, and great balance.

A beautiful, well made, well polished - VERY sharp out of the box - knife. Literally, the only con I have to share is that the packing absolutely sucks. At least, in the Amazon delivery-ecosystem it does. The box this knife comes in IS NOT MADE to be shipped. Period. It's supposed to be hung on a wall rack in the culinary section of a nice store. Not stuffed in a box, on a truck, potentially getting dropped over and over again. The reason, there is a small, round, molded plastic piece at the tip of this knife to protect it from falls; but because the knife is so sharp, if the box lands the right way the knife will literally shear through the plastic piece and make contact with the ground. Which means you are VERY likely to recieve a knife with a damaged tip from dropping. At least that was the case with me. Twice. Both knives arrived with the exact issue I described, only the second one was luckily undamaged. So be sure to check the knife before you get to using it or throw the box away.

I mean, what needs to be said, the name says it all, it's a Wusthof! It's quality, well balanced, with a nice hilt. Fits perfect in the hand, even with my smaller hands and waning grip it fits and holds very nice. And that blade! Awesome! The rivets are well made and polished down to the handle nicely. The handle has a smooth grip yet easy to hold onto, which makes using it for a longer period of time easy. And a fantastic warranty. This is the second knife in the Classic Ikon line that I have gotten, and I just can't say enough about how they have made me happier in the kitchen. I look forward to using them every day. (I even HUNT for things to slice and dice. Haha) There are 3 more in this line that I will be getting as I phase out part of my Zwilling J.A. Henckel set. (Go. Get. Your. Wusthof.)!

Having used 2 or 3 brands of quality knives inc. Global & not got on with them, I took a gamble on these. What a great decision! Look good, razor sharp out of the box, easy to hold, well balanced, good weight, comfortable & being Wusthof, should hold their edge well & last a lifetime! Expensive yes, but should be worth it in the long run. This 2 knife set offers better value for money. Have bought a Wusthof 2 stage pull through sharpener, not ready for a whetstone yet!

One thing I didn't like off the bat was the handle was a little lower than the metal at the front. I believe now that it might be for extra forward grip. Just grabbed it now and it doesn't do anything. Used to worry my fingers but I don't even notice it now. Could have shown up sharper, but even my knife guy says that most come with a factory edge and need to be sharpened. So this was nothing new. It is a scary weapon now that he's sharpened it. No wine while cooking or I'm going to loose some fingers

I tested it, and it separated my chopping board into two immediately.

We have several Wusthof knives from their Classis Ikon series and couldn't be happier with them. Yes, they are a bit on the expensive side, but when you buy Wusthof knives, you are buying them for life. If taken care of they will last for many, many years. Well balanced, easy to maintain and takes an edge very well.

Heel stabiel, niet te zwaar en vlijmscherp mes met mooi handvat. Bij uitpakken uitkijken, ik raakte per ongeluk het snijvlak bij uitpakken aan en had meteen een klein sneetje in mijn vingers…
