Wüsthof 9908 Review by kontai69

After using an el cheapo stamped steel Henckels knife set for over 15 years, I decided to treat myself to something new and better. After much research, I decided to get this knife set, the Wusthof Classic Ikon 8 pc set. I am extremely pleased with them. The knives have very good balance, are beautifully finished, and are of course extremely sharp. The ergonomic handle of the Classic Ikon fits my (relatively small) hand much better than my old Henckels as well as the lower-priced Wusthof Classic line I tried at a W-S store. The rounded edges of the handle looks more modern and feels more comfortable to hold than the older Classic line. I am using the "proper" pinch grip, where the index finger and thumb are squeezing the blade and the other three fingers are wrapped around the handle. The handles also look so classy sticking out of the knife block where you can see the metal "butt" of the handles with the engraved Wusthof logo. Equally important, the "bolster" of the Ikon does not extend all the way to the cutting edge like on the lower-priced Classic, making the Ikon easier to sharpen and gives it a little more cutting edge. These benefits more than justifies the extra cost of the Classic Ikon over the Classic. The 8 pc set has the most basic knives which I will ever need. Most of the time I use the chef's and bread knives and seldom use the paring and utility knives. In fact, I'm selling one the utility knives since I only need one. I also later decided to get a 9 slot knife block (purchased separately) since the included 17 slot block was a little too much for just the 6 pieces that I am using. The smaller block takes up less counter space and doesn't have near as many unused slots (especially those for the steak knives which I do not own).
You can find this knife set (as well as the 9 slot block) on a certain auction site for quite a good discount. That is where I got mine. At the price I paid, it can be considered a bargain considering it should last a lifetime and beyond. It certainly has been one of the best purchases I've ever made, knives or not. I also reiterate the suggestion that when comparing different knife brands and models, handle the various knifes before purchasing to see how they fit and feel in your hand.

Wüsthof 9908 Review by SIG

For some time I wanted some really good chefs quality knives. After doing quite a bit of research and holding several different knives in upscale stores, I settled on the Wusthof Ikon Creme - and I'm very glad I did. These knives are super sharp, well balanced, and great looking. There are three different handles available in the Wusthof Ikon knives, and I chose the Creme as a personal preference.

My advice is to hold several top quality knives like these in your hand. You will notice the difference in quality in different kinds of Wusthof, Henckels, and other top name knives. You can then decide for yourself.

These knives are fantastic and will be used in my kitchen for a very long time.

Wüsthof 9908 Review by Richard

I did a lot of research before buying these. Yes, they are expensive. Yes, you will be truly amazed at the quality of these knifes. I bought these for my wife who was thrilled to receive them. I was not sure if I would be buying the rest of the set but now I am positive that this will be the last set of knifes I ever buy.
