Wüsthof Classic 5-inch Boning Knife

A boning knife needs a narrow, pointed blade that slips between meat and bone, and the Wüsthof Classic 5-inch boning knife is sized for home kitchens. It separates chicken thighs from the bone and takes the bone out of a leg of lamb.

The short blade keeps the point under control as you work around joints, and the pointed tip pierces connective tissue to start each cut. Wüsthof lists its uses as removing bones and skinning, along with trimming tendons and fat. Let the tip and edge ride along the bone; chopping through bone is a job for a cleaver.

For longer cuts, such as boning a whole ham or a turkey breast, the Classic 6-inch flexible boning knife gives more reach and bends to follow the bone. For fish, see the Classic Ikon 7-inch flexible fillet knife. The Classic Ikon 5-inch boning knife carries this blade on a Classic Ikon handle. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains boning and fillet knives.

    Care

    Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal.
