The handles are made of African blackwood. It is a beautiful dark wood that is also used to make wooden instruments such as oboes and clarinets. The wood grain makes each product unique. The blade Even though the handle is a real eyecatcher, this does not mean that little attention has been paid to the blade. As with other Wüsthof collections, the blade is made of X50CrMoV15 steel that has been PEtecsharpened and handpolished. This type of steel is also easy to sharpen.

Wüsthof knife BIFL replacement
I bought a broken tipped Wusthof Ikin Chefs Knife on Marketplace for $20 and sent it to Wusthof and got a brand new one in return.

What’s a purchase that’s not fun, not flashy but now you swear by it?
I did Wusthoff knives with a full tang the Ikon style. There are a few great ones. I do suggest watching some videos because how you cook and prepare food will make a difference as well. I also went to a store and held them in my hand. I wanted to get a feel for them.

BIFL Quality Knives that Last
Piggy backing this- Weight is a big consideration! German knives like Wusthof tend to run heavier than Asian knives. A lot of brands also have different lines amongst themselves like Wusthof Gourmet: budget line, stamped knife, traditional knife handle but cheaper construction (less metal used in construction) Wusthof Classic : mid tier line, forged (not stamped) traditional knife handle with more substantial construction (more metal) Wusthof Ikon: premium line, forged, ergonomic style handle with great construction. Depending on your food prep experience, you probably have a preference for what you like to handle, you won't know unless you try to handle the knives. I thought a japanese knife would be great, but I have a greater learning curve using a lighter knife since I'm used to using heavier German knives. Also, you might prefer a smaller chef's knife if you find that the standard 8 inch doesnt cut it. Some brands will carry a 7 inch chefs You do not need a whole knife set, a chefs knife, bread knife and paring knife will take you a long way. Build your set based on your actual needs. Santoku knives are great chef knife stand-ins for veggie prep I used to work at a home supply store. 🙃
