Wüsthof Classic 6-inch Flexible Boning Knife

Wüsthof Classic 6-inch Flexible Boning Knife

Wüsthof’s Classic 6-inch flexible boning knife has a longer, thinner blade than the 5-inch boning knife, and it bends a little under pressure. That flex lets the edge follow the curve of a rib cage or a turkey breastbone so less meat stays behind, and the extra inch gives a long, smooth stroke when skinning a pork loin.

It is a good choice for whole chickens and turkeys, for trimming brisket and for removing the skin from salmon fillets. The narrow tip works into joints to separate them without chopping. As with any boning knife, let the edge ride along the bone and leave chopping to a cleaver.

Customers deciding between this knife and the Classic 5-inch boning knife can consider the work. The 5-inch is easier to control around small joints; this 6-inch covers larger cuts. For dedicated fish work, the Classic Ikon 7-inch flexible fillet knife is longer and thinner still. See our guide to knife shapes for more on boning knives.

Care
