WüsthofClassic IKON 2-Piece Chef's Knife Set, Black

Sharp as can be cuts great

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.

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 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.

Given as a gift. Arrived timely. Absolutely beautiful. Recipient loves the knives.

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

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.

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!

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 received these today, so I can't talk about longevity but I be damned if these are not the best knives I've ever used. They're so sharp and so comfortable to hold, the handles are air tight, everything about them is just perfect! They're definitely original Wusthofs, and personally I loved the red logo more, but this is their new line-up with the ''refreshed logo''. It looks pretty slick in person to be honest, very modern and minimalist, definitely looks better than in person. If in the long run I encounter any issues with them I'll make sure to update the review / create a new one. Until then, 10/10 would recommend.

So far so good. Sharp out of the box.
