Wüsthof Classic Ikon 5-inch Boning Knife

Deboning chicken thighs, trimming a pork shoulder and peeling silver skin off a tenderloin are the daily work of a boning knife, and this 5-inch Classic Ikon knife is built for them. Its slim, pointed blade slips between meat and bone where a chef’s knife is too wide to follow.

A short blade means precise control around joints. Use the point to open connective tissue, then keep the edge tight against the bone as you cut. The Classic Ikon handle keeps the knife steady in a full grip even when your hands are slick from raw meat, and the open heel lets the whole edge be sharpened. The synthetic handle has the look of wood without the discoloration, odor retention and staining that wood can develop around raw meat. Cut along bones, never through them.

For larger cuts, the Classic 6-inch flexible boning knife gives more reach. Fish calls for the longer, thinner Classic Ikon 7-inch fillet knife. The Classic 5-inch boning knife pairs this blade with the riveted Classic handle. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains boning 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.
