    Not going to lie, these are the best knives I have ever used in my life. In some sense they are too good to use. I have used a Wsthof classic chef knife but prefer the Ikon handle.
    Pro;
    Comfortable
    Heavy in the right way
    Durable
    Sharp right of the box
    Look amazing

    They have helped me to improve my knife skills (cut myself so many times, I had to learn).
    I mainly use the chef and pairing knife which have been amazing. (Pro tip; the pairing knife is better and faster when preparing small amount of veg) The peeling/stoning knife is something I’ve never used (or even seen) before and I am impressed about how useful it is. But it cannot replace a speed peeler.

    Negatives;
    Doesn’t come with the nice ikon handled honing steel (just plastic moulded)
    The original edge needs honing after every use
    to keep sharp (not to bad just a couple of swipes.

    Tldr. Buy them, they will make cooking way more enjoyable (you don’t realise how much time you wasted before)

    Love them

    sehr gut verarbeitet, hohe Qualitt, die Messer liegen gut in der Hand und sind, wie erwartet, sehr scharf.
    Ein weiteres Highlight in unserer Kche.

    Arrived within timescale. The knives are very sharp and need to be used with care.. They are easy to hold. I have only had them for a few days so not possible to say how long the sharpness lasts before they need to be sharpened.

    I was quite worried at first as there have been reported QC issues with the Ikon series but all where perfectly straight and razor sharp out of the box, able to do a push cut through paper with ease.

    Nice weighted knives with a very grippy handle even with water or oil, perfect for me, smaller options for other people in my house who don’t like a large chefs knife and would prefer the utility knife.

    Very stylish block, looks great in the kitchen. Considering the price of the individual knives can fluctuate to a much higher price at some times this block is a bargain. Will probably end up buying a Santoku from this line as well.

    These replaced a set of Global knives stolen during an inter-continent home move. For me they are way better than the Globals. Far easier to sharpen!

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersI had purchased just the chefs knife and loved it so much I wanted to get a nice set.

    This set comes with an 8 inch chefs knife, a serrated bread knife, a pairing knife, kitchen shears and a honing steel which are all useful.
    It then also comes with a curved “fruit knife” and a utility knife which is a long and thin non serrated blade, inbetween a pairing knife and a large chefs knife.

    The block itself is quite sturdy and it’s quite easy to put the knives in and take them out.

    The scissors come apart so it’s quite easy to wash and dry them.

    All in all – a good purchase, not cheap but they do stay sharp for a long time without having to sharpen them yourself.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGreat quality knives, very sharp and a very stylish block, works out a hell of a lot cheaper to buy them in this package instead of buying the individual knives, good for chefs of all standard

    Cosa dire, I coltelli sono straordinariamente affilati e ben bilanciati, acciaio di altissima qualit. Ricevuto nei tempi previsti con un ottimo imballaggio.
    Prodotto che consiglio assolutamente.

    I researched extensively before making this purchase…this knife set was consistently recommended and I am happy to say that it is for good reason. These are excellet knives…very comfortable to handle and very sharp…makes chopping a breeze. The knife block is small and sleek and does not take up too much space on the counter! The scissors are great too. The shipping was fast and efficient and the company from whom we purchased were very professional. I’m delighted!
