The Classic Ikon 5 inch boning knife is perfect for removing bones in pork, beef or chicken. The long narrow curved blade allows the knife to move cleanly along the bones. The Classic Ikon line by Wusthof features a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance and beauty. The handle is made of a durable synthetic material, POM (polyoxymethylene), which resists fading and discoloration.
