"I had been looking for the perfect set of knives for a really long time (years) and finally decided on these. Having had used other Wusthof cutlery in the past, I knew that the blade would be good. With the Ikon set, not only are the knife blades extremely sharp, making slicing a breeze, but they also feel so wonderful to grip. I know that we will have these knives for decades, and that we made the perfect decision in buying this set. Not only are the knives utilitarian and ergonomic, but there is a sense of grace within each piece."
