The knives have a secure grip even when hands are wet. Easy to keep the knives sharp by using the honing steel and never cutting on anything except wood cutting boards. The steel, blade shape, and 14 degree edge on the Classic and Classic IKON are identical. These knives are incredibly sharp and it’s clear they will most likely last a few decades. They are much more secure under all cutting conditions! The Chef knife in it makes the thinnest cuts with ease. This set is the perfect blend of a classic look with a modern twist. Even the bread knife is noticeably better than what I was using before, allowing me to cut very thin slices of bread with precision.
Always wipe down your knives dry after hand washing to prevent rust. Do not stick it in the dish washer.
