Kitchen knives vary in price depending on their quality. They can cost anywhere between a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. Knives from well-known manufacturers, though a bit expensive, are definitely worth it. Those from Wusthof Trident, one of the best in the business, fall under this category.

Of the different sets manufactured by them, we think that the Wusthof Classic Ikon 8-Piece Knife Block Set, which combines all the best features of the Wusthof knife lines, will make a great set. This Wusthof Classic Ikon cutlery includes several useful knives such as the 3-1/2-inch parer, 4-1/2-inch utility, 6-inch sandwich knife, 8-inch bread knife, and 8-inch chef’s knife.

According to us, the construction technique and the materials are the highlight of these Wusthof Classic 9908 Knife Sets. These knives are made in Solingen, Germany, regarded as the cutlery capital of the world, from a unique mix of German steel. In fact, they are precisely forged from one solid piece of steel and tempered to an optimal Rockwell 58 hardness.

They require low maintenance as each blade is precisely tempered so that the knife will hold its edge for a long period of time. These knives are dishwasher safe; but if you hand wash it with warm water and a little detergent and then dry with a towel, they will last even longer.

The compound angle of each blade makes the Wusthof Classic Ikon cutlery unique. The angle narrows from the spine of the knife to the edge, for that sturdy yet sharp edge. To give knives strength and flexibility, they are tapered from the bolster to the tip. These Wusthof Classic 9908 Knife Sets have ergonomically-designed handles. With a riveted handle and a contoured shape, they provide maximum comfort and control.
