Wüsthof Classic IKON 5" Boning Knife, Black

Very sharp and easy to handle. A great knife!

I've only used this knife once, on a rotisserie chicken. For that purpose, I with the blade was a bit shorter, but the knife needs to be able to cut larger items as well. The knife is exceptionally sharp, and with the long slender blade, it's perfect for boning. Just be very careful in use, as I cut myself easily on the first use. As with all of the Wusthof Classic Ikon knives I've tried and own, this one performs exceptionally well. Very high quality, long-lasting, beautiful finish. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Super sharp! The handle is shaped to be easy to grasp even when working with slippery meats. Blade tip is useful for "spearing" thinly sliced meats. Shape of blade aids in getting close to the bones for meat processing. This is my second Wusthof boning knife and I won't hesitate to buy another one. Great quality!

Ergonomic handle. You won’t be disappointed.

Best knife in the set

I work in the kitchen everyday and this knife is perfect. I was recommended this knife from another chef for working with breaking down fish and it dose not disappoint. It is a lighter weight knife with a very flexible bend and stays sharp. Only suggestion is make sure you take care of it and sharpen it.

This is a very nice boning knife. Sharp, durable, and easy to handle

Wusthof Classic Ikons, while sharp and high quality, have a minimal tapered bolster between the handle and the blade. This is fine for most blades and I have plenty of this brand, but with a boning knife you often need to really get in and around larger cuts of meat and joints etc. Having a minimal barrier between your hand / handle and the blade is worrisome in this case (in my opinion).
