Wüsthof Classic 7-inch Hollow Edge Craftsman Knife

Wüsthof designed the Classic craftsman as a hybrid of a chef’s knife, a curved boning knife and a slicing knife. The 7-inch blade has a gently curved edge and a pointed tip that follows the contour of a bone, which lets one knife break down a chicken and then slice the cooked meat.

It suits cooks who buy whole cuts and prefer to keep one knife at the board for the job. The blade is 1.6 inches tall, narrower than a chef’s knife, so it moves around joints and under silver skin, and hollows along the sides help slices release.

For vegetables, keep a full-size chef’s knife alongside it, since the narrower blade does not scoop or rock as well. Dedicated boning is easier with the Classic 5-inch boning knife. The Classic Ikon 7-inch craftsman offers this design with the rounded Ikon grip, and our knife shapes guide describes the three shapes it borrows from.

    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.
