The thin, narrow-yet-rigid blade of this knife makes it perfect for working around all but the most delicate bones. Its 5-inch blade bones larger cuts of meat and whole poultry with ease. 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, this 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 its owners. --Arthur Boehm
