Classic Ikon
Wusthof makes great knives period. I bought it to replace one exactly like it that the tip broke off. No fault of Wusthof’s, my daughter used it as an ice pick. 😳 What the heck!! P. S. , they are NOT ice picks!! I absolutely love all my Wusthof’s. I own 6, and all are excellent and hold an edge better than anything I’ve ever owned.

This was a warranty!
I am so impressed with your service and specifically Veronica . I was able to replace my favorite knife (my daughter bought it for me ) and I then proceeded to buy another knife and a set of steak knives. I could not be more impressed with your quality and service . I will be a repeat customer, my wife now wants her own !

A Very intuitive knife
Very intuitive knife. At first look it seems like a thick blade. I cut lemon slices very thinly and it did exactly as I wanted it to. Has a nice weight, nice handle to it.
