Precision forged, full tang blades. Review: The best Chef knife there is - slices through everything like butter - 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. Review: Love my Wusthof knives and these are no exception - Love my Wusthof knives and these are no exception. I went into stores (both Sur La Table and Williams Sonoma) when I was upgrading my knives. I handled a lot of knives before making my choice to go with the Wusthof line. I then bought knives at both stores and on desertcart (who ever had best price for the piece I wanted). My favorite of the Wusthof line is the Classic (not Ikon). It just fits my hand and I feel like I have the most control over those blades. That being said, from the reviews more people prefer the ergonomic handle on the Ikon - showing its just my personal opinion. What made me go with this Ikon set is that unlike the Classic, the bolster does not run the full height of the blade. As the paring and chef's are my most used blades, they will need sharpening far more often and not needing to file down a bolster is a selling point. Once I became accustomed to the handle on the chef (paring was never an issue) I was fine. I don't regret the purchase at all. I just recommend that because of the personal preference and fit of the user, you should always handle blades before buying them (especially if investing this much in an item you will have/use for many years to come. ## Features - KITCHEN WORKHORSE – The WÜSTHOF 8” CLASSIC IKON Cook's Knife is essential for preparing any meal.

They're well worth the extra cost. My sister has owned a set for 15 years and they're what sold me on how sharp and well balanced they are. If your considering buying German steel knives please read carefully on where they're made. Some say German steel but are made in China. These are made in Germany ## Frequently Bought Together - WÜSTHOF Classic IKON 2-Piece Starter Knife Set - WÜSTHOF 10" Sharpening Steel - WÜSTHOF 2-Stage Hand-Held Sharpener, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/11222705-classic-ikon-2-piece-starter-knife-set](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/11222705-classic-ikon-2-piece-starter-knife-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
