WÜSTHOF Classic IKON 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, Black

Kinda pricy, but this is a beautiful knife. Very sharp at the get-go (as it should be) extremely comfortable, and incredibly useful for so many purposes. Cuts pretty much anything "like buttah..." Glad I purchased it.

Love my new knife - replaced a cheaper Santoku that stood out from the rest of my Wüstof Ikon set. SUPER sharp and well balanced. Good weight and comfortable feel. Worth the investment. None of my ikon knives have rusted or show any damage after multiple years of heavy use. Worth the investment.

I usually dont write reviews, but felt compelled to write this one. I was looking at replacing a faberware knife set that I got 20+ years ago when I moved out on my own. I ordered the Wusthof Classic Ikon 7in Santuko knife along with the Wusthof Classic 7in Santuko knife to compare them. I dont have any Wusthof dealers in my area that I could go to compare the two knives. I used both knives to prepare dinner so I could compare the two. Both knife blades are very high end. I was surprised at light both knives were compared to my old faberware santuko. Both knives glided through the foods I was cutting with ease. There was no resistance in the cutting. I found the handle of the Classic knife to be similar to my old knives but not as bulky. The Classic Ikon handle however fit my hand better. It didnt even feel like I had a knife in my hand because the handle fit so well, and again the knife was so much lighter. It was like using a feather to cut with. I decided to keep the Classic Ikon, even though its a little more expensive. I thought it was worth they upgrade. The Wusthof Classic line is still a superior choice, however I prefer the handle of the Ikon Much more. You cant go wrong with either one.

The Wusthof Classic Ikon 7-inch hollow edge Santoku knife has a very comfortable handle. The knife is well-balanced, and it cuts veggies and tomatoes with ease. It's razor-sharp. It is perhaps one of the finest Santoku knives available today. I highly recommend this knife for larger cutting jobs, and it's little brother, the 5-inch Classic Ikon Santoku knife, for smaller cutting jobs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thin profile blade is good for slicing. Is very sharp out of the box. Fit/finish on handle is not what I would expect for a knife in this price range. Scales don’t meet the steel which creates an uncomfortable edge when used for any length of time

This knife has perfect balance and glides through anything from tomatoes to meat to raw potatoes. It is the perfect santoku. I have always been a knife snob, and has great knives, but this feels so amazing in the hand it’s the one I reach for most often lately.

Just the right size for a daily use, super good quality, sharp, right weight.

The quality is exceptional. Feels very balanced in your hand. The handle allows for easy use. Plan to buy others and add to my collection.

Been using it a while now and it’s very good quality and very sharp out the box. It’s holding it edge really well too. Should last many of years I’m sure.

Excelente cuchillo Un filo impresionante Buen agarre y el tamaño de 14cm es perfecto Los de 17cm son muy grandes El mejor cuchillo de cocina que e comprado Y eso que tengo otros de otra marca buena Pero este los supera en calidad y se nota en el precio de 90€ que es bastante Pero vale la pena

Great German version of a Japanese Santuko knife. A must have for any chef to fine-cut vegetables. The Classic version features a forged blade with full tang.

Das Messer ist bequem und hat gute Schärfe. Bin sehr zufrieden

Regalato a mio padre per il suo compleanno. Coltello eccellente. L’ho provato e lo comprerò anche per me.
