Wüsthof CLASSIC IKON 7" Fillet Knife

Flexible Control for Fish and Fine Trimming

The 7-inch blade bends as it moves along fish bones and beneath skin, allowing close, controlled filleting strokes. Its pointed tip reaches into tight areas around joints and connective tissue where a broad chef's knife cannot work cleanly.

The same narrow blade is useful for precision meat trimming and peeling larger fruit when a flexible edge offers better contact with the ingredient.

Wüsthof CLASSIC IKON 7" Fillet Knife - Flexible Control for Fish and Fine Trimming

Wüsthof CLASSIC IKON 7" Fillet Knife

A Flexible Blade for Close Work

A fillet knife works by following the ingredient rather than forcing a straight path through it. The CLASSIC IKON blade flexes along bones and curved surfaces, while the narrow profile keeps each cut visible and controlled.

"A fillet knife should move with the shape of the fish. This blade is thin and flexible enough to stay close to the bones and skin, which gives you cleaner portions and less waste."

Questions answered

Frequently asked questions

What is the CLASSIC IKON 7" Fillet Knife best used for?

Its thin, flexible blade is designed for separating fish flesh from bones and removing skin with controlled strokes. The narrow profile follows natural contours closely, helping preserve usable flesh during filleting.

How does a fillet knife differ from a boning knife?

A fillet knife has a thinner, more flexible blade that follows the delicate contours of fish and skin. A boning knife is generally more rigid and better suited to working around joints, bones, and connective tissue in meat and poultry.

Can this fillet knife be used for trimming meat?

Yes. Its thin blade can remove fat and connective tissue from delicate cuts and make precise trimming cuts. For larger or tougher cuts of meat, a dedicated boning knife provides more rigidity and control.

Can the WÜSTHOF Fillet Knife cut through fish bones?

No. Its flexible blade is designed to work around bones and separate the fillet from the skeleton, not cut through hard bones. Cutting through bone can damage the fine edge and is outside the knife's intended use.
