Wüsthof Classic Ikon 7-inch Flexible Fillet Knife

Filleting fish calls for a long, thin blade that flexes to follow the backbone and ribs, and Wüsthof’s Classic Ikon 7-inch fillet knife is built for that work. The flexible blade lifts a fillet from a trout or a snapper in a few long strokes, then slides between skin and flesh to remove the skin in one piece.

The 7-inch length suits fish from panfish to a medium salmon, and the narrow blade reaches into the belly and around the collar. Its contoured Classic Ikon handle holds firm when your hands are wet from the fish, and the open heel lets you sharpen every bit of the edge.

For meat and poultry, a boning knife such as the Classic Ikon 5-inch boning knife has a stiffer blade that holds up better around joints. For skinning large fillets of salmon for slicing, see the Classic 12-inch flexible salmon slicer. Our knife shapes guide explains the fillet knife.

    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.
