Yes it is expensive but here is the story. Christmas was approaching - I ordered 22pc from Wusthof direct and saved 30%. While searching here, what did I see? This 6” chef knife! I could not resist to go the extra mile to impress - Let’s just say a heart was melted - I became a King of Kings and received the husband of the year award above all others. Quality and build that you would expect at this price and the balance is comfortable in hand - not to leave out that the Blackwood is gorgeous. Wusthof Ikon for the win! 5 skulls! Review: The ultimate cook's knife - I spent a great deal of time researching and reviewing knives before I settled on the flagship of the Wusthof line. I dont have the kind of money to go around buying $200 knives that I dont intend to use for the rest of my life; it took me a very long time to save up to buy this sucker, and I wanted to make sure I got the perfect one for my needs. It was worth the work I put into the purchase. I have been delighted with this knife in every way. Ive been working with it for a while now, and even as a fan of knives in general it still continues to amaze me what a difference working with a very high-quality knife makes. Sometimes this knife makes me think there's no such thing as friction. The balance is perfect. The feel of the wood handle is amazing. I specifically wanted the genuine Grenadill (African Blackwood) handle because of the feel and the texture of it it in my hand, and I am so glad that I went for that. It makes an enormous difference, and using this knife is pure joy. It makes it easier for me to use and vastly improves my grip and control. If you've been wanting a really good cook's knife, there is simply no way you can go wrong with this one. This is a German blade, not a Japanese blade, so if you're a fan of Japanese blades, this one won't be your best choice. It's a heavy knife, heavier than any Japanese blade I've used. But it's one of the best, if not the best, non-Japanese blades you can buy, so if your preference is for the German blade, as mine is, this is the one you want. I love my Santoku, and I will eventually get a good, high-end one to replace my midrange workhorse Mercer. I have a few other knives that I use regularly whenever I cook; utility and slicing and paring. But this Wusthof cook's knife is my go-to blade for all occasions. I dont see that ever changing. This is the kind of thing you bequeath in a will, along with your precious cast iron. If you love to cook, amateur or pro, this is the knife you want. Go for it. You'll make up the cost in a year, because it's such an excellent knife you'll actually *want* to cook every meal, just so you can use it. ## Features - Made in Solingen, Germany - African Blackwood Handles - Precision forged full tang, high carbon stain resistant blades. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003MU9G1Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #174,851 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #2,216 in Block Knife Sets | | Blade Color | Silver | | Blade Edge | Bread Knife | | Blade Length | 8 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Wüsthof | | Color | Black | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (317) | | Date First Available | May 18, 2010 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04002293980706 | | Handle Material | African Blackwood | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Is Dishwasher Safe | No | | Item Length | 16 Inches | | Item Weight | 8.35 pounds | | Item model number | 1090570701 | | Manufacturer | Wusthof | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Set Name | Ikon 7-Piece Knife Block Set | | Size | 7-Piece Set | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Bread Knife - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Wüsthof - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** African Blackwood ## Images ![IKON Blackwood 7 Piece Knife Block Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81a0PBAeaNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What 4 knives do I need to purchase to fit in the 4 holes on this block? Obviously need to match the other ones.** A: It's the steak knife set. **Q: Are the blackwood handles nick and water resistant? Do they require special oils to maintain them? How long have you had your set?** A: We’ve had the set since June of last year. It’s an excellent, profession grade set, but requires very little upkeep. We have had it sharpened once since purchasing it, but otherwise nothing else required. We wash them by hand and dry them before putting them away. The scissors are prone to rust at the pivot between the two blades. I expect that had we always washed them by hand and separated them each night this wouldn’t have happened. The set comes razor sharp out of the box and has a real weight to them, especially on the large blade. Don’t underestimate them, or you will cut yourself. I cannot recommend them strongly enough. My wife is a near professional chef and loves working with them. **Q: Is this a flexible or rigid boning knife?** A: It is flexible. It has a thicker blade, and is certainly less flexible than a filet knife, but it still has some bend to it. I've used mine for a variety of wild game processing and general kitchen needs. I love mine. it came sharp and holds its edge nicely. **Q: What is the difference between this one and the $89.95?** A: I believe that the black wood handle is probably the main difference. It is a great knife, if the blades are the same you will be pleased with either. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Present Idea! *by R***D on December 31, 2025* I was searching to my hearts desire for that perfect gift for my spouse.

The hardwood handles feel good and look terrific (either in black or brown). The knives hold a good edge, are sturdy, sharpen easily and feel well balanced in the hand. The IKON series is one of the higher priced Wusthof lines. Similar knives with a lower price point can be found in the Classic series. I have some of each. I prefer the IKON, but the Classic series is a better value. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wusthof IKON Knife Block Set, 7 Piece, Black - WÜSTHOF Come Apart Kitchen Shears - Wüsthof Classic IKON 9" Double Serrated Bread 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.jp/products/20883566-ikon-blackwood-7-piece-knife-block-set](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/20883566-ikon-blackwood-7-piece-knife-block-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
