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.

Can't say enough good about this set. The quality, balance and edge were perfect out of the box. The only 2 knives you REALLY need and a set that should last a lifetime.

Comforable, balanced in the hand, sharp, I've never had or ever used better knives.

I expect to enjoy the use of this quality instrument for many years to come. I am surprised by how much I find the handle and weight very comfortable to hold. Factory sharpness is excellent. Out of the box, sliced through navel oranges and the thick citrus skin with almost no effort. Heavier in hand than my only other cooks knife a very well used 8 year old Global Asian cooks knife- which has been my single and sole knife for food prep to opening food packages. The additional blade length (20cm vs 18cm) will be very useful. Btw, the smaller paring knife has a refreshing, equally reassuring heft for breaking down smaller food prep items.

I did a LOT of research on knives for months before making this purchase. I compared all the lines within like Wusthof & Zwilling, Japanese ones like Shun, Miyabi, Global etc. Wusthof in my opinion was the best all round winner - Quality, looks, durability, ease of maintenance and price. Moreover, this particular deal - Chef and paring knives for $172 is a steal. (Only the chef knife is worth $180 everywhere else). The Chef knife is a killer knife, slices through anything you want like its butter. And it feels absolutely perfect in your hands. Do not underestimate the paring knife - its fantastic for cutting fruits and vegetables - we use it everyday as well. I am sticking to my promise to only hand wash these.

Justo lo que quería, un cuchillo precioso con acabados duraderos. Para picar verduras no es tan bueno como un santoku, pero gana en versatilidad tanto en carnes como pescados. La puntilla es increíble. Hacen un conjunto muy bueno. Son ligeros y muy compensados. Despues de horas de uso, ni los notas y tardan bastante en desafilarse, después de un mes de uso intensivo cortan como el primer día.
