If you're an avid cook, then you need a great kitchen knife.

Cheap knives dull quickly, so even if they cost less initially, you'll need to replace them frequently.

On the flip side, the Wusthof Classic Ikon 8-inch cook's knife will last you for a long time — even if you use it all the time.

This knife is ideal for slicing, mincing, and dicing all kinds of food. The riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape, which increases cutting precision and control.

"This knife is ridiculously nice. It has seen use 4x per week, 30 minutes at a tme on average, for 6 months now, and I've still had to sharpen it," one reviewer wrote.
