Experience the Specialist Fillet Knife with Ikon Ergonomics
The Wüsthof Classic Ikon Flexible Fillet Knife 16cm is forged in Solingen, Germany - a shorter, flexible blade for filleting smaller fish with precision, fitted with the ergonomic double-bolster handle of the Ikon line for complete control through wet, slippery conditions.
The Specs
Steel: X50CrMoV15 high-alloy steel, forged from a single piece - 58 HRC
Edge: PEtec (Precision Edge Technology) - double-ground to 14° each side
The flexible blade bends to follow the contour of the spine and ribs, keeping the edge in constant contact with the bone for maximum yield and minimum waste. At 16cm, this is the blade for smaller fish - trout, bream, snapper, flathead - where a longer blade would be unwieldy. The Classic Ikon's ergonomic handle and double-bolster design deliver better control than a traditional handle for the close, precise work that filleting demands. PEtec sharpening grinds the edge to a precise 14° on each side. Forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 steel in Solingen, Germany.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash recommended - dishwasher safe but not recommended for longevity
Dry immediately after washing
Rinse immediately after contact with fish and salt
Hone regularly with a honing steel to maintain the 14° edge
Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
