Create culinary masterpieces in your home with this professional-quality Wusthof Classic Ikon peeling knife, also known as a Bird's Beak knife. The curved edge of this knife is ideally suited for peeling, cleaning or shaping any fruit or vegetable with a rounded surface. This 2-3/4-inch blade is complemented by a riveted black handle design with a contoured shape to add comfort and control, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
A culmination of all the best features of each of the Wusthof knife lines, the Wusthof Classic Ikon line features blades that are precision-forged from one solid piece of steel and tempered to optimum sharpness. The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife, which adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon also has a unique forward bolster, which is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. A full tang extends through the handle for perfect balance and handling.
Made in Solingen, Germany--The Cutlery Capital of the World--Wusthof knives are made from a special blend of German steel and each blade is precisely tempered, which allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen without the need to be sent away for maintenance. Wusthof also employs a unique compound angle that tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge.
Generally, the construction technique and the materials used to manufacture make all Wusthof knives dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended. Wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use.

Shun DM0715 Classic 2-1/2-Inch Bird's Beak Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a lot of experience using various brands of kitchen cutlery, including some from relatively obscure Japanese manufacturers, and I truly believe that this is the best bird's beak knife on the market. The most important thing in selecting a bird's beak knife is sharpness, and Shun knives are certainly among the very sharpest on the market today. The only comparable knife that I have used is the Global bird's beak knife, but this one has a much more comfortable handle than the Global does. Additionally, the Shun bird's beak knife is balanced better than the Global, and significantly sharper than similar knives from Wusthof and Henckels. There is also a Shun Stainless bird's beak knife, with the only difference being the stainless steel handle. Although not every kitchen absolutely needs a bird's beak knife, I highly recommend this one for those that do want one for peeling tough vegetables such as turnips and for specialized decorative garnishing.

This stunningly beautiful line of cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times.

Rada Cutlery Granny Paring Knife, Made in USA, Aluminum Handle (R100) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I started buying Rada cutlery at one of the big Home & Garden Shows because I was tired of cheap knives and of peelers that just didn't work. This knife is simply the best for the price - you don't need to spend a fortune on the German brands - this U.S. made knife is every bit as good at a fraction of the price. It is fantastic for doing apples and other fruits.
The knife stays extremely sharp - I've nicked myself a number of times when I got too close to what I was cutting. You can keep the blade super sharp by using the Rada sharpner, so there's no need to replace this knife ever.
The only drawback, if you are into appearances, is that the handle will discolor if it is not dried after washing or if you allow it to sit in water. Also, these knives should not be put in the dishwasher if you care about appearance - the handle will get darkened and somewhat pitted.

You will likely agree that Paring Knives are easily the most often used knives in the house. The Granny Paring can slice strawberries, score oranges, and halve fresh peaches. Rada cutlery is made of surgical quality, high carbon stainless steel. The solid cast brushed aluminum handles create a 'feel good in your hand' balance for superior comfort. Hollow-ground blades ensure a precision concave surface for maximum edge retention and sharpness. Hand wash and dry immediately after use to prevent discoloration of the aluminum handle. Like all Rada Cutlery, this item carries a lifetime manufacturer guarantee against defects. 2 3/8 inch blade, 6 inches overall.
