Customer Reviews

Wüsthof Bird's Beak Knife
This Wüsthof-Trident Classic Bird's Beak Paring Knife is in my top ten list of most-used kitchen cutlery. I like this handy little curved knife for peeling and paring most fruits and vegetables, except potatoes, which I prefer to peel with an OXO peeler. If this knife is kept sharp, it can even be used to take the rind off of citrus fruits. If you like to make decorative food items or garnishes (like radish roses and carrot curls), or watermelon baskets or sorbet-filled oranges and lemons, then this is the knife for you. (A small fluting knife also comes in handy, too.) I hone mine with a steel frequently, and I also have it sharpened professionally as it doesn't sharpen well with the Chef's Choice electric sharpener. If you buy a set of Wüsthof knives, and this one isn't included, you'll want to add it to your collection. Also, I hand-wash and dry this knife and keep it stored in a wooden block.

Best small knife you can have
This is my favorite small knife. It is excellent for peeling round fruits, I can peel an apple with this faster than with a peeler. It will cut pickles into sandwich slices like cutting through butter. Keep this knife sharp and it will not let you down.

Love this knife
Although this knife comes in only the larger sets, it's really an essential knife. The curved blade works so much better peeling apples, potatoes and so forth. I would rather trade one of the so-called peeling knives in the smaller sets for this one. It's become one of my most used knives.
