Best knives I have ever used. Love the handle and the sleepiness in the design. The classic ikon is the way to go.

If you are a serious home cook, you will appreciate this knife. It is comfortable in the hand and super sharp. I expect to have this for the rest of my life as long as I take proper care of it and occasionally take it to a professional for resharpening.

Dieses kleine Turniermesser ist zwar sündhaft teuer, dennoch seinen Preis wert. Es ist top ausbalanciert, und es läßt sich sehr angenehm damit arbeiten. Das es hundsgemein scharf ist, braucht man nicht zu erwähnen. Meine Frau hat sich gleich beim ersten Gebrauch geschnitten, und das erst bemerkt, als sie das Blut entdeckt hat. Aus der Ikon Classic Serie besitzen wir nun schon einige Messer von Wüsthof, auch aus der Vorgängerserie, der X-Line. Auch wenn man etwas mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen muss, lohnen sich solche Anschaffungen allemal. Schlecht für das Unternehmen Wüsthof, man kauft einmal ein solches Messer, und das hält ein Leben lang, vorausgesetzt es wird entsprechend behandelt.

High end knife. Very sharp and small enough to hold nicely in hand. Wound definitely but again.

I love the classic IKON line and it's been my go-to for years. The handles have always been very smooth and hold up to use, so I don't get that awkard callous-inducing friction that can happen around the rivots. I like that the blade extends all the way to the heel and allows for cutting through food without catching. I think it makes for a more comfortable/ergonomic hold, too. I feel like with most high-end German blades, the sharpness holds for quite some time and doesn't require quite as much maintenance to keep the edge in good shape. Honestly, these are a joy to use and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Excellente fabrication super tranchant... mais pour quelle raison ce couteau (et le reste de la gamme) est il aussi pointu ? Aussi pointu qu'une aiguille: c'est dangereux et ça n'a aucun intérêt sauf à causer des blessures. J'ai du émousser la pointe, maintenant le couteau est bien moins dangereux il n'a rien perdu de ses qualités ni de son tranchant et la pointe reste toujours efficace. Dommage que le fabricant n'ai pas eu cette démarche.Soyez prudents.

Bought this knife as a gift for a friend. Nice knife, but had I known the packaging would be so cheap, including the paper thin plastic tray that holds the knife, I wouldn't have bought it. Also, the butt of my knife doesn't say Wusthof Germany like the picture in the description does.

This is definitely a "high end" knife from my perspective. I'm sure you could spend more (there's always a more expensive way to pare an apple), but this knife is amazing! It came extremely sharp and holds an edge very well. It's got more weight toward the rear than many knives (just the way I prefer, though your mileage may vary). It complements a high quality chef's knife quite well. I tend to reach for this knife when I'm cooking for myself or only need to do some minor cutting. Unless I need a large cutting edge, this is my first choice every time! I highly recommend getting this knife and either a Chef's Knife or a Santoku (Japanese Chef's) Knife. The handle of the Classic Ikon series fits my hand like a glove. My wife agrees and she has much smaller hands than I do - so it's pretty much "one size fits all/most".

Ottimo spelucchino della serie Classic Ikon della Wusthof. Perchè spendere tanto per questo coltello? Se amate cucinare e avete cura dei vostri coltelli allora questo spelucchino è l'ideale: acciaio fantastico (tiene il filo davvero molto più a lungo di tutti gli altri spelucchini economici) e manico ergonomico (si tiene in mano che è una meraviglia, presa salda e sicura).Taglia alla perfezione verdure e frutta.Dovrei consigliarlo? Chi conosce marca e serie di coltelli sa bene di cosa stiamo parlando, non necessita raccomandazioni il coltello si raccomanda da solo.

Une cinquantaine d'euros pour un couteau d'office, c'est pas donné donné quand on voit qu'on trouve des choses très correctes avec un bon acier de coutellerie, lame forgée et soie traversante autour de 20-30 € (Berghoff par exemple).Cependant, avec ce modèle, on tape vraiment dans la gamme au dessus. Poids, équilibre, confort de tenue en mains, forme et taille de la lame... tout est bon.La finition est aussi exemplaire. Un bel objet, ce qui n'est jamais désagréable quand on est un peu esthète (de lard) et qu'on cuisine beaucoup.Garanti à vie ? Oui, mais on se demande quelle raison il pourrait y avoir à faire jouer la garantie tant la fabrication et la qualité ressentie semblent exemplaires. C'est cependant rassurant si, pour une raison quelconque, un rivet venait à prendre du jeu ou le manche à se déteriorer.Cependant, à part faire n'importe quoi (bricoler avec ou le faire tomber pointe en avant sur du carrelage), on a du mal à imaginer ce qui pourrait mettre à mal ce couteau dans un usage normal.La coupe est de grande qualité, aussi. A la différence de couteaux forgés plus bas de gamme qui n'atteignent leur meilleur potentiel qu'au fil de nombreux affûtages (et à condition d'avoir la bonne pierre et le bon coup de mains).Seul petit reproche : l'emballage frise l'indécence : une simple enveloppe en carton sur la lame. On s'en fiche si le couteau est destiné à un bloc ou un support mural magnétique (c'est mon cas). Mais à ce prix, Wurstoff pourrait mettre un protège lame en plastique pour ceux qui rangent leurs couteaux dans un tiroir avec d'autres ustensiles (ce qui n'est pas recommandé, mais tout le monde n'a pas la place d'avoir des blocs ou des supports muraux) ou pour le transporter pour ceux qui, comme moi, aiment prendre leurs couteaux quand ils vont cuisiner à l'extérieur.

Wusthoff, based in Solingen Germany has been making quality knives since 1814. I have long been a fan of their product and after using and being happy with their Classic line I was excited when the Classic Ikon line came out. The Ikon line is a really big improvement over their classic line. Thanks to the new handle design the knife fits much better in the hand, especially larger hands and the two thirds bolster will insure many years of trouble free sharpening. The addition of the back bolster not only helps balance the knife but greatly improves its aesthetics. This paring knife is a versatile knife and I use it for much more than paring. It is probably my most used knife. Like all Wusthof knives it performs well and holds its edge. I was so impressed with this line I have retired my old "clasic" and now have many Classic Ikon knives in my collection. This is a great knife that you will be happy with and after your first Wusthof purchase you will likely be purchasing more....
