Wüsthof CLASSIC IKON 7" Hollow Edge Craftsman
A Hybrid Blade for Prep and Butchery
The wide belly supports rocking cuts through vegetables and herbs, while the curved clip-point tip gives you control when trimming meat, working around joints, or preparing fish. The narrower forward section also makes the knife useful for carving and slicing.
Hollow-edge indentations create small air pockets along the blade, helping sliced food release more readily during repetitive prep.
Wüsthof CLASSIC IKON 7" Hollow Edge Craftsman
One Knife for Several Cutting Styles
The Craftsman is a useful choice for cooks who move between vegetable prep, meat trimming, fish work, and carving without wanting to change knives for every task. Its shape remains broad enough for chopping while narrowing toward the tip for more detailed work.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
What is the CLASSIC IKON 7" Craftsman designed to do?
The Craftsman combines the curved belly of a chef's knife, the maneuverable tip of a boning knife, and the narrower profile of a slicing knife. It handles chopping vegetables, trimming meat, working around joints, portioning, and carving with one versatile forged blade.
How does the Craftsman differ from a regular chef's knife?
The Craftsman has a narrower, more pointed blade with a pronounced belly and clip-point tip. Its curved cutting section handles rocking cuts, while the tip provides better access around joints and connective tissue. A conventional chef's knife has a broader profile better suited to general chopping.
Can I use the Craftsman for boning and filleting?
Yes. The narrow blade and pointed tip help with trimming, separating meat around joints, and filleting fish. It is intended for precise cutting around bones, not chopping through them. A dedicated flexible fillet knife may be preferable for delicate fish preparation.
What is the advantage of the Craftsman's hollow edge?
The hollow-edge indentations create small air pockets during cutting, helping reduce food sticking. This is particularly useful when carving thin meat portions or repeatedly slicing vegetables.
