Product Description
The Wusthof Classic 14cm boning knife is a forged high carbon steel blade paired with a black polypropylene handle. It sits within the Classic series — one of the most consistently used professional knife ranges in commercial kitchens — and is designed specifically for breaking down joints, removing bones from poultry, and working around cartilage with control and precision.
The relatively short blade length suits close, detailed work where a longer knife would feel unwieldy. High carbon steel holds a keen edge well under daily prep use, and the full-bolster forged construction gives the knife good balance and a solid feel in the hand. The black polypropylene handle is comfortable for extended use and straightforward to maintain to food hygiene standards.
In practical terms, this knife suits kitchens where butchery or detailed protein prep is carried out regularly:
- Forged high carbon steel blade retains a sharp working edge with regular honing
- Compact blade length gives good control on close boning and filleting work
- Full bolster construction provides balance and protects the hand during heavy use
- Black handle is non-porous and easy to clean to HACCP standards
- Lightweight at 99g — manageable during extended prep sessions
The 14cm blade length is well suited to most boning tasks, though kitchens processing larger carcasses or high volumes of whole poultry may find a longer blade more practical for certain applications. Wusthof produce this style across a range of blade lengths if your prep requirements vary.
If you're unsure whether this blade length suits the type of prep work carried out in your kitchen, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A 14cm blade handles most standard boning tasks well, including poultry, smaller joints, and filleting. For regularly breaking down larger carcasses or whole legs of lamb or beef, a longer boning knife may give you more working length — Wusthof produce the Classic boning knife in longer blade lengths if your prep requirements demand it.
- High carbon steel benefits from regular honing with a sharpening steel to maintain the edge between full resharpens. Hand washing and prompt drying is recommended to protect the blade and bolster over time — dishwasher use can degrade the handle and accelerate corrosion on the blade.
- The black handle can be incorporated into a colour-coded knife system to help segregate tasks and reduce cross-contamination risk. If your kitchen operates strict colour-coded protocols, it is worth confirming black fits your existing allocation before ordering, as colour conventions vary between operations.
