Wüsthof Classic Ikon 7 Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, Black, 18 cm

The Wüsthof Classic Ikon series are some of the very best professional knives. The Icon series have ergonomic POM handles with double bolsters. I particularly like the semi bolstered blades that makes sharpening the full length of the blade easier than a full bolster. They are designed to be kept sharp with just a regular polish with a steel. Precision made, nothing flashy, just excellent quality for a lifetime of real world use.

Bought this for my son who works in hospitality and needs his own knives. He likes it and thats what I wanted having used it myself its a good light weight knife an all round chopping knife happy with purchase.

As ever Wustof do not disappoint.

I purchased this knife in January this year and I did lots of research looking for the perfect blade for me. I trained and worked as a chef for many years but have changed career since and I always took great care and pride in my knives. Since leaving kitchen work I haven't been able to justify spending vast amounts on quality knives so have had to put up with a standard set given as a wedding gift fifteen years ago. So it goes without saying, I was really looking forward to trying this blade out and it didn't disappoint. The balance of the knife is perfect and the edge is extremely sharp, I found it keeps its edge for quite a long time and I have been sharpening it about every three months. After nine months of use I can give this product a five star review and look forward to purchasing my next Wüstof knife.

A beautifully crafted chopping knife for all meat and veggies that need slicing and dicing. Very sharp so take care.

As with all wusthof knives they are manufactured to the highest standard easy to maintain and sharp as a lance if looked after properly I can highly recomend thus knife.

Having bought the Chefs & paring knife combo, I was very happy to receive this as a gift, it makes a great addition to my knife rack & looks great too! Just waiting for my 4 stage sharpener to arrive today, after nearly a years use without honing or sharpening it has lost it’s edge - the 2 stage sharpener I bought for my other knives is the wrong angle for this.

This knife was for my son who likes to cook a lot and would like to be a chef. He finds the sharpness a boon when preparing meals, It's comfortable to hold and we'll balanced. He has 4 so of this quality. The meal was great!
