Amazon.com Review
The thin and narrow yet flexible blade of this knife makes it perfect for working around the delicate bone structures of small fowl, such as squab. Unlike many other boning knives, this one has a full bolster so your cutting hand is protected as you work.

Part of the Classic series, the knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to any cook who owns it. --Arthur Boehm

Customer Reviews

great for heavy use
I am a sous chef and I use this knife to break down everything from shell steak to veal chops, and I love it. I also like the flexibility of the blade. It holds an edge very well, with minimum touch ups. Overall I am very happy with the Wusthof line.

Edit 4/6/05: Still using it, still like new, almost 3 years of almost daily use later. Can't beat Wusthof!

A dangerous knife -- because you will LOVE it!
I use the 6-inch version, the wife loves the 5-inch version. Highly flexible yet strong, Wusthof's classic design allows you complete control over the blade. I think buying this particular boning knife is dangerous because you very well might find yourself reaching for it to the exclusion of other, more useful knives for other tasks. A boning knife is designed to remove meat from the bone, but it will do just about anything else you want. Buy it if you think you need it, and when you use it, you'll thank yourself.

Wustof Classic... worth the money
As a home user, I must say that I'm quite pleased with my purchase of this knife in the Classic line. Had a few opportunities to use this prepping chicken already, and I've gotta say that it's loads easier to work with than the garbage knives I had at my disposal previous.
