A robust yet flexible knife that expertly works around bones to release as much meat as possible. Suitable for all meats but especially useful for fish. —DETAILS— W¨¹STHOF knives have been manufactured in the city of Solingen, Germany since 1814. The company, which is still run by the founding family, takes quality very seriously C which explains why their knives consistently feature in ‘best of’ lists. Every knife in the Classic range is fully forged from a single piece of stainless steel so it has a full tang, which allows for excellent blade-to-handle balance. The high-carbon blade undergoes a process in which the steel¡¯s molecular structure is realigned to be stronger and more robust, honed twice by hand and once by laser to ensure a perfect finish. This laser finish is the result of a proprietary technology called PEtec, which makes blades 20% sharper, with double the edge retention. The traditional riveted handle features a full bolster and finger guard, aiding the proper knife technique in which your thumb and forefinger grip the blade (‘pinch grip’).thumb and forefinger grip the blade. This filleting knife maintains that durability while being flexible, expertly working around tricky bones to release as much meat as possible. It is especially useful when working with fish. —BENEFITS— ‘In a Western-style knife, the weight of a blade does a lot of work, especially when cutting tough ingredients (meat with bones, swedes, or pineapples, for example). W¨¹STHOF has mastered the balance between the weight of the blade and the handle, on top of having sharp and durable blades with excellent edge retention. The result is knives that are comfortable to hold and easy to control.’
