Messermeister Petite Messer 2.5-inch Bird's Beak Paring Knife with Sheath

A bird’s beak parer has a short blade that curves down to a point, and Messermeister designed this one for detailed decorations and for preparing small, round vegetables and fruits. The curve follows the surface of a potato or a mushroom, so you can turn vegetables into even shapes or peel a citrus fruit in one continuous strip.

The matching sheath protects the tip in a drawer or a knife roll, which makes it easy to carry to class or a catering job. Culinary students practicing tourné cuts and cooks who garnish plates will put it to good use.
