I wanted to add a 10" Chef's knife to my collection and had planned on buying another Wustohf Classic Ikon. However, numerous on-line reviews of the Messermeister Meridian Elite knife were very positive, and several specifically concluded that it is comparable to the Wustohf Classic Ikon, and a better bargain.
I agree. The both the Messermeister and Wustohf knives are full tang knives with partial bolsters, which is what I prefer. Both are ground to about 15 degrees on either side, and both are shipped sharp and ready to use. The handles are very similar and they feel pretty much the same in use. The quality of the steel seems comparable. I am very pleased with this knife.
I wish the knife had a bit more belly to it but that’s something I’ll get used to. I also rounded off the spine a bit near the handle as I found the sharp angle would hurt my claw hand about 30# into chopping onions.
