Wusthof Classic Ikon Creme 2-piece Prep Set

Wow, I didn't know knives could be so attractive! So much nicer than the black handles (we have light-colored granite). They are also wonderful to use; very comfortable handles and sharp as well (I cut through 3 layers of large carrots easily with the larger knife).The Chef's Knife is nicely elevated so you don't knock your knuckles on the cutting board (the reason I never liked my old Chef's knife, I just realized!). The paring knife is a little longer than some; I still find uses for my old less-sharp shorter paring knife (i.e., for poking out holes in strawberries etc) but prefer this paring knife for when sharpness is key.Only WARNING I would give is that if you like to cook with spices, Turmeric will tint the cream handle yellow (something you didn't have to worry about with black). Fortunately I only got a little spice mix on the handle and it seems to be wearing off, but I wouldn't keep it away from anything staining.

Well, first off, its Wusthof. So it is already a quality product. I like the handles of these knifes. They are more ergonomically friendly for one. Second, they are slightly larger than your standard 3-rivet style handles, which makes them super easy to uses and gives you a good balanced feel to them. I love using a 6 inch Chef's knife. 8 inch knives tend to be a bit to much most of the time. Sharpness of the blades is incredible. I tested them against my current older knives. Cut a tomato and a lime. It was like night and day. Keep them honed on a regular basis and NEVER put them in the dishwasher!! These will last a lifetime.

This are very nice and practical, it makes a great present!

Most amazing knives I've ever owned! Recommended to me from a black button chef that works at Disneyworld. Fast shipping too.

I really liked the knives at first, but found the knives as a whole are lacking balance seen to have very thin and flimsy feeling blades. I will not be buying these knives again

Sharp

The knife is not balanced. The handle is heavier than the blade thus making it not easy to use. I am giving it three stars coz the blades are good.
