Wusthof Classic IKON Fillet Knife - 8" High-Carbon Stainless Steel Blade - Ergonomic Black Handle - Perfect for Fish, Meat & Poultry - Professional Kitchen & Outdoor Cooking Tool

This is by far the finest fillet knife I have ever owned.It arrived at my door scary sharp.I purchased this knife for a gift, but based the purchase on my having owned a similar knife that I bought in a hardware store in Bitburg Germany in 1981, and which has been passed down to my son who still uses it today. The knife has a fabulous, flexible blade that makes filleting like sculpting. The classic design of the handle works well with either lefties (that would be me) or right-handers. I know you're not supposed to put these knives in the dishwasher, but for decades I have and they show little wear. Needs re-sharpening monthly, depending on use. Fantastic Solingen steel that is non-paralleled in the world. Would definitely buy again.Wow! I love the Ikon classic handle. Feels so good in the hand. Wusthof blades stay sharp and are relatively easy to maintain for high end knives with hard steel. I particularly like the flex in this knife. Some flexible knives are too flexible, some too stiff but this one is just right. You can still bone birds with it and you can also fillet fish or skin them.Ok guys this is a must for filleting flounder or snook as some people call them. My husband did not want to spend this much on a knife but he loves it!Very nice knife. I have always used Wusthof knives and decided to get this knife for fish. It works very well and is probably the sharpest of all that I have, possibly because the blade is thinner than the others. It is very sharp and does flex.All my fishing buddies are jealous! Best filet knife i have ever owned! Great price and fast shipping!It was a gift to my son and he loves it!Was replacing my 30+ year old Gustav Emil Ern fish filleting knife. The blade is as flexible, and the handle is a beautiful ergonomic improvement............This knife is now 4 years old, and the handle is disintegrating. I have never put it in the dishwasher, and have used it lightly as you can see by the blade. Extremely disappointedYo tengo dos cuchillos mas de esta marca y como estaba contento compre este para el pescado. La decepción ha sido grande pues el cuchillo no tiene la calidad de corte de los otros. Uno de los poseo tiene ya mas de dos años sin afilar y conserva mejor filo que este. Cuando lo compre había que tener mucho cuidado porque cualquier roce producía un corte en la mano, cosa que no hace este que tiene incluso cierta dificultad a la hora de cortar una hoja de papel. Otra cosa es que el cuchillo se vende como flexible, pero para mi gusto también es demasiado flexible lo cual lo hace impreciso y peligroso. Pero no todo es malo, su delgadez en la hoja le permite quitar la piel al pescado sin dificultad. La calidad es la misma que cuchillos nacionales que cuestan la cuarta parte.Appartiene ad un brand molto conosciuto nel settore e come di consuetudine non smentisce l'ottima qualità del prodotto, affilato, robusto, in questo caso flessibile ed ottimo per filettare e sopratutto duraturo nel tempo. Prodotto consigliassimoperdono il filo rapidamente e la marca stampata sulla lama e venuta via dopo pochi lavaggi (non in lavastoviglie) mi aspettavo molto di piu' visto il prezzoWusthof una garazia, affilatissimo, flessibile,bmanegevole adatto allo sfiletto di pesce e pollame, consigliato a chi come me lavora in cucina 10/12 ore al giorno e lo usa tanto. Arrivato puntuale cone sempreUn precio asequible para un cuchillo de gama alta, buena relación respecto al peso y manejo. realmente flexible y confiable
