Wüsthof Classic Boning Knife, 5"

A Classic boning knife is made for trimming and deboning, especially when you need control close to bones and joints. It is a great tool for prepping meat or poultry at home and cleaning up cuts before cooking.

A Classic 5" boning knife is a strong choice for home cooks who break down chicken, trim roasts or like to portion larger cuts to stretch their budget. The compact length also suits anyone who prefers a smaller knife for detail work.

With a Classic boning knife, follow the natural seams and joints and use short, controlled strokes to separate meat from bone. Let the knife do the work, aiming the blade along the bone rather than forcing it through.

To help protect the edge on a Classic boning knife, wash and dry it promptly after use and store it so the blade is not knocking against other tools. A knife block, drawer storage with edge protection or a sheath helps keep the edge in good shape.

A Classic boning knife complements a chef's knife by handling the specialized jobs a larger blade can feel bulky for, like trimming fat and working close to bone. If you prep meat or poultry often, having both can make the work faster and more precise.
