Wüsthof Classic Ikon 7-inch Hollow Edge Craftsman Knife

According to Wüsthof, the Classic Ikon craftsman combines a chef’s knife for cutting, a boning knife for working around joints and a slicer for carving. Its 7-inch blade curves up to a sharp point, so it can follow a rib bone, separate a chicken thigh from the backbone and then carve the roast at the table.

We recommend it to cooks who buy whole birds and larger cuts and want one knife from the butcher paper to the platter. Hollows along the blade reduce drag on thin slices of cooked meat. Ikon’s rounded handle feels secure in a full grip for heavy trimming, and its edge runs uninterrupted to the handle.

For vegetables, keep a chef’s knife such as the Classic Ikon 8-inch alongside it. For dedicated boning, the Classic Ikon 5-inch boning knife is more nimble. The Classic craftsman is the same design on the original Classic handle. Our kitchen knife shapes guide covers each shape it draws 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.
