Wusthof's Classic line of cutlery features full-tang design, forged construction, hand-honing, and a classic, triple riveted handle. The superior weight, balance and precision of these knives make them a perennial choice for amateurs, professionals and home cooks alike. Made in Solingen, Germany by a family run business, each knife is tested and re-tested to deliver a final product that is both aesthetically pleasing, functional, and will last a lifetime. The edges are ground to 22 degrees which, when properly maintained delivers the perfect balance of bite and sharpness for continuous use, while the proprietary metal is easy to re-sharpen. The 6 Inch Flexible Boning features a semi-flexible blade that contours to bones and around joints. The long tapered blade gets close to the bone for minimal waste and less damage to the muscle groups.
