Overview
Slicing fillets from fish and trimming meat or fruit is the job of this Wüsthof Classic Ikon knife, which has a forged high carbon stainless steel blade that flexes. The handle is creme colored polyoxymethylene.
A blade that bends to follow bones and skin is the reason to look at a fillet knife like this, and the forged build suits regular kitchen use. The limitation is the sparse listing, which gives no care instructions and no warranty.
Who it's for
Cooks who prepare whole fish, carve around bones or peel fruit with a thin flexible blade. The creme handle suits a lighter kitchen look. Anyone after a rigid all-purpose knife or a bread slicer should look at another style.
Pros and cons
- Flexible blade follows bones and skin
- Forged high carbon stainless steel
- Plain edge slices cleanly
- Light knife weight
- Care instructions not listed
- Listing partly in German
- Not a stiff general knife
- Warranty details not given
Performance notes
A thin forged blade flexes under light pressure, which lets the edge track along bone and skin when filleting. The plain edge slices without sawing, and the light weight reduces fatigue over a long trimming session.
