Wusthof Icon Series

Great looks, excellent finish, common performance, high price: the steel is just the common stainless Solingen: depending on the price you have to pay you might get much better, I guess. In order of giving you an idea of what you may get for the same money:

I’ve never use one, but the blade steel and shape is the same as their other non-budget models. Wusthof as well as many other European brands has been using the same (or very similar) blade steel and shape for quite some time now, and have homogonized to a point where the main difference between them is the handle. If you’re not locked into the handle, you might be able to find a lesser price on a older / discontinued model or another brand. Just make sure it’s an upper model and not the lower budget stuff.
