As my first high end knife I can not praise this knife enough. It is razor sharp and easy to keep that way. It has scalloped sides that make the extra thin slices you can make with this knife separate from the blade with no problem.
Being part of a set I can build more of them one or two at a time as I can afford and/or need them.
The handles on this knife are not made of wood so they will never splinter or check. Though this knife is dishwasher safe I would never put it in the dishwasher. If you are going to pay this much for a knife hand wash it.
To keep this knife sharp I use the Wuesthof Asian Edge Sharpener, Red

This was the first "nice" knife I've bought, intending on getting an entire set over the next few months, and it is a winner.
Obviously the first thing you notice is the blade's sharpness (I almost sliced myself when I first picked it up). It will cut through pretty much anything with ease. I busted it out the night I first bought it and sliced some radishes paper thin with ease. In fact, the hardest part is avoiding your fingers. The santoku portion means foods you are cutting will slide off the knife because of the "air pockets" that the grooves create.
The next thing you'll start to notice is the balance of the blade itself. Even compared to other Wusthof knives, the Ikon is exceptionally more balanced and lighter in the hand.
Finally, on an aesthetic level, the African wood handle sold me. It's contoured so it fits your hand well, yet feels sturdy enough to last a lifetime. The lack of a huge "red" Wusthof symbol on the handle is nicer, in my opinion, than the more inexpensive Wusthofs.
My recommendation, save your money from buying inferior knives and buy this one instead. You won't regret it.
