Wüsthof Classic 2.75-inch Peeling Knife (Bird's Beak)

Many cooks know Wüsthof’s Classic peeling knife as a bird’s beak. Its short blade that curves down to its point. The curve follows the shape of round fruit and vegetables, so it peels an apple, a pear or a turnip in one continuous strip and cuts close to the skin.

Classically trained cooks use it for tourné cuts, the seven-sided barrel shapes carved from potatoes and carrots. It also removes the eyes and blemishes from potatoes, cuts citrus zest into fine strips and shapes radish and mushroom garnishes. The 2.75-inch blade keeps your hand close to the work for control.

A peeling knife is a specialist; it does not slice on the board as well as a straight paring knife. Pair it with the Classic 3.5-inch paring knife for everyday trimming, or the Classic Ikon 3-inch flat cut paring knife for straight cuts. The table below compares all of Wüsthof’s small blades, and our kitchen knife shapes guide explains the bird’s beak shape.

Care
