Wusthof Classic Ikon Fillet Knife - 7 inch

The Wusthof Classic Ikon 7-Inch Filet Knife, designed in the USA by some of the best fishing experts in the country, is a versatile tool that can easily clean and bone your favorite catch. Equipped with a leather sheath, this fillet knife can be used both on the lake and in the kitchen. Wusthof, a company with a rich history dating back to 1814, is located in the cutlery capital of the world, Solingen, Germany, and remains family-owned to this day.

Wusthof has focused almost solely on making forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast, with a considerable number of separate manufacturing stages required to complete each precision-forged knife. Every step is carried out to exacting standards by skilled German workers aided by the latest computer-guided equipment, and some of the precise steps are performed robotically, using the same machinery used to produce well-known Swiss watches. This balance between German technology and old-world artisanal craftsmanship is the secret to how each Wusthof knife is created.

Known around the world for its unique and uncompromising quality, Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel throughout the entire length of the knife, with the ingredients of this steel proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precision tempered. This tempering allows the knife to maintain its edge for an extremely long time, yet can still be kept in your home kitchen without the need to be sent out for maintenance.

The Wusthof Classic Ikon 7-Inch Filet Knife features a unique compound angle that is not seen on many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a strong, yet extremely sharp edge, while also tapering from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength and flexibility. This design ensures that the knife can handle a variety of tasks with ease, making it a valuable asset in any kitchen or on any fishing trip.

In conclusion, the Wusthof Classic Ikon 7-Inch Filet Knife is a testament to the company's commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and innovation. With its precision-forged blade, unique compound angle, and durable construction, this knife is a must-have for any food enthusiast or outdoor adventurer.
