You can't really get better than this for the price! Insanely sharp and hold its edge well. Easy to sharpen (diamond stones or wetstones, DO NOT USE an ordinary kitchen knife sharpener or you will ruin the knife!!). Well balanced with a modern style handle; only part-bolster so it can be sharpened along its entire edge without getting mis-shapen. The entire Classic Ikon range is highly recommended. Review: Really decent chef's knife - In all honesty this is the first quality knife I have owned, having been using cheaper stamped construction ones from knife block sets previously. The difference is staggering. From the first moment you hold it you can feel the difference in quality. The handle is exceptionally comfortable in my hand, however I would say not so much when using a pinch grip. This is a knife on the heavy side, but the balance feels good when in use. It is very sharp out of the box, but I would expect that. In appearance it is very elegant, especially with the cream handle. Bear in mind though that the wusthof do recommend that this finish is kept out of UV light - presumably there are yellowing issues reported. After light use it is retaining its edge, time will tell, but I'm not so daft that I expect it not to require proper care. I invested in a steel and the wusthof pull through sharpener as the angle of the edge on these knives is 14 degrees, which is not typical. If results are not good with that I will have to learn how to use whetstones. I paid a significant amount less for this knife than it is listed for on the manufacturers website. This is sold here via a third party. Some other reviews from this reseller have reported poor packaging, but mine came sealed in the correct box. What the economics of this is I don't know, but I suppose it is possible these are returns or seconds. I can't detect any issues with the item though and saved £65. Other reviews indicate that wusthof will honour the warranty. Those comparing this to a Japanese blade are right. Those are known to be sharper at the same price and will hold an edge for longer. They are however more brittle and prone to chipping and breakage. In comparison the steel used here is softer but tougher and probably better suited to non enthusiast use, hence my choice. ## Features - CHEF'S KNIFE – Features a 6 inch long blade with a distinctive double bolster design for professional-style heft, german made cook’s knife with a sleek ergonomic handle design made from a long-lasting synthetic material to resist fading and discoloration - WÜSTHOF CLASSIC IKON SERIES – Features a sleek and sophisticated black handle with a double bolster for exceptional balance, beauty, and the ultimate cutting experience, classic ikon design, ergonomics, and quality perfected - RAZOR SHARP – High carbon stainless steel blades, precisely cut with the latest state of the art technology for incredible sharpness and easy maintenance, Wüsthof kitchen knives are hand wash only - PRECISION FORGED – Forged from a single block of high carbon stainless steel and tempered to 58-degree HRC, the precision edge technology (PEtec) yields a blade that is 20 percent sharper with twice the edge retention than previous models - CENTURIES OF TRADITION – Family owned for seven generations, Wüsthof was founded in solingen, Germany over 200 years ago, Wüsthof’s cutlery cutlery carries the solingen name, a designation reserved for products that meet the strictest quality standards ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0883T8HRB | | Best Sellers Rank | 146,701 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 92 in Chef's Knives | | Blade Colour | Silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Material Type | High Carbon Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 6 Inches | | Brand Name | Wüsthof | | Colour | Black | | Construction Type | Forged | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,493) | | Handle Material | Polyoxymethylene (POM) | | Included Components | Wüsthof | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 6 Inches | | Item Type Name | Wüsthof Kochmesser, Classic Ikon (1040330116), 16 cm Klingenlänge, geschmiedet, rostfreier Stahl, Küchenmesser sehr scharfe Klinge | | Item Weight | 113 Grams | | Manufacturer | Wüsthof | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1040330116 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 1040330116 | | Size | 15 cm | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Blade edge:** Plain - **Blade material:** High Carbon Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Wüsthof - **Colour:** Black - **Handle material:** Polyoxymethylene (POM) ## Images ![Chef's Knife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZFvIeDbTL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality professional kitchen knife *by M***G on 26 November 2025* It's Wüsthof.

It's not that it doesn't work, it's just ridiculously excessive, and means you need more space around you. I like this for bigger vegetables like squashes and cabbages, but get much more mileage out of my 8" Wusthof. The Ikon grip has a more 'ergonomic' *appeareance*, but I don't think I actually prefer it to hold: it seems to encourage poor (hand wrapped around handle, off the blade) grip. It does have an almost flat butt though, which I like for bashing things open, like cardamom, nutmeg, garlic, etc. ## Frequently Bought Together - WÜSTHOF Classic IKON 6" Chef's Knife, Black - WÜSTHOF Classic IKON 3.5" Paring Knife, Black, Stainless - WÜSTHOF Classic IKON 5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, 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.pl/products/423349055-chefs-knife](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/423349055-chefs-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
