Ikon 8 Inch Chef's Knife, Brown, 20 Cm

One of my favourite and most-used knives from a set of 17 pieces.

One of a set of 17 pieces i am putting together. As my hands get older and stiffer I am finding the handles on my Henkel knives to be too short and where I too often slip onto the blade and get cuts, so have been searching for a replacement set for several years. I settled on Wusthof and the more full Ikon handle that is longer and has many safeguards built in, plus 'forged in Germany' blades. The hardest decision was whether to get the real wood handle or the fabricated, but after holding one of each I knew I had to get the real wood. I couldn't find a formulated set of the IKON BLACKWOOD so I had to order the block and each knife separately (mostly from Amazon). While they haven't all arrived so far each knife is perfect. A huge expense and late in my life when I am only cooking for two, but after a hard work life I decided I am worth it. TY TY TY for all the shops that are supplying the individual items so I can put together the whole set.

As none of the stores near me carry Wusthof knives I depended on Amazon to ship me a couple of versions so I could try out the handle before buying. This series is perfect for me - with the thicker IKON handle in BLACKWOOD (real wood). I returned this so to buy the three-pce. set AND all the other knives in the series. TY TY TY

This is the knife I have been looking for. This knife is super sharp, which is what I want. If I knew these knives were this good, I would have been purchase one of these knives. Wusthof makes a helluva kitchen knife.

Bin mit der Qualität des Messers super zufrieden.
