Wüsthof Classic Ikon TR9606n Christmas Set of 2 Knives

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!

Purchased as a gift for my partner who is extremely happy with it. Bought along side the single 6 inch knife from the same set. Perfectly weighted, well designed and impeccably sharp - after almost 3 weeks of use the edge is still as sharp as when it arrived. As a kitchen knife they are certainly on the expensive side but its worth spending more on a quality blade so you don't end up having to sharpen your knives every week just to keep a keen edge.

I am totally in love with this knife. My forever knife. I'm mostly cooking veggies, and I take great care of it, wiping it with a soft cloth after washing it manually. I'm not sure how long the blade sharpness will last. As I'm using it every day for a few minutes for chopping veggies, the sharpness is still there after a few weeks. I'm planning on getting a honing tool to help maintain the blade. I'd like to try a wusthof santonku next, as I'm very impressed with the quality of this blade.

Every time I use these knives I am hyper alert, these glide through your fingers like a hot razor through ice cream. You have been warned

Delighted with these blade. The comfort and balance is incredible it feels worth every penny in hands having had a number of cheaper blades this was a welcome upgrade. Will buy more wusthof blades in future!

I am slightly confused.. Done some research on this and things don't add up. The text on the pairing knife is not as on the official photos..different alignment. The box seems to be from a different set as it sais 9266 on the inside. I have not received any paperwork or signpost on warrantee in the box. The box itself looks like costs £1 to make. The box looks dofferent from the oficial ones ive seen and the text around the branding is missing? So..is it genuine? Waiting for Wusthof to respond to my query now but I am somewhat doubtful! Edit Had these verified by Wusthof and confirmed genuine. Id love for the seller to have actual photos of the stock they will send out to avoid any further confusion. Also the bolster is not simetrical so seems to have a production design imperfection that was never mentioned hence why the 4 stars.

I’m an amateur home chef and these are my first ‘proper’ knives. They are superbly designed, beautifully weighted and super sharp, it makes such a difference when prepping food. I haven’t yet mastered professional chopping, I have however successfully shaved the ends of my fingers a number of times. Be careful!

Serious question marks over the legitimacy of this product. Either a fake or these were a manufacturer's defective model, as the quality was visually sub standard. As you can see from the photos, the tip of the knife was clearly broken. It looked chipped at the tip of the blade (almost as if the very tip had been snapped off), plus the blade edge was not milled to the tip of the blade on one side only. On top of this, when looking down on the backbone of the knife it was clearly bent to one side. Given the reduced price of the product compared to rrp I am skeptical this is a genuine Wusthof.
