WÜSTHOF Classic IKON 6" Chef's Knife, Black

Awesome knife. With proper care, should last lifetimes...

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.

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.

I always want to kick myself for waiting too long to buy myself an excellent food prepping tool as wonderful as this knife. I won’t, though - I’ll simply be grateful I have it now.

My favorite knife. Super sharp Took a chance on this knife and it is the new go to knife for everyone in the house.

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.

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've been using it 2 months and I love it. If you don't have a dedicated chef knife yet, get this one. It isn't brittle or easy to damage like a traditional Japanese knife, but doesn't have a higher sharpness ceiling. It's sharp out of the box don't get me wrong I love the thing. It is good for dicing onions and good for preparing watermelon with every in-between. Just make sure you don't slam it down on the cutting surface if you want to preserve the out of the box razor edge. There really isn't any down side to this one if you want a German chef knife.

Sharp as heck, solid feel, good balance, hard steel (I've banged it a couple time - no notches), and quite nicely designed. You will be pleased with this chef's knife.

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.

Il costo si sente, ma la differenza si vede... Arrivano molto affilati e qualche passaggio LEGGERO con un ferro da affilatura dopo qualche uso li mantiene affilatissimi. Niente a che vedere con coltelli di poco prezzo trovati qui, che nonostante siano funzionali all'inizio, poi perdono il filo rapidamente e definitivamente (salvo affilarli con pietre ecc., almeno mensilmente...). Se siete indecisi: comprateli.

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…
