Classic - Peeling/Hawksbill Knife 2.5"

The Wüsthof Classic 2.75" Turning Knife (4062 / 7), also known as a bird’s beak paring knife, has a curved blade with a pointed tip and is used for many of the same tasks as a paring knife. It is generally used in one hand while holding the object being cut in the other hand. The turning knife’s inwardly-curved blade makes it the first choice for peeling round fruits and vegetables. Also, because its unique shape concentrates the cutting energy on the tip, a turning knife is the optimal tool for scoring meat or bread dough and cutting shapes in fondant (a smooth paste made from boiled sugar). It can be also be used to make decorative cuts known as “tournées” potatoes, carrots, squash and other vegetables and to create decorative garnishes such as rosettes or fluted mushrooms.
