This peeler is sharp and light. The German steel blade is very strong and sharp. The thin profile allows for easy peeling without much waste. The handle is very light and ergonomically designed to be super comfortable to hold.
I've been searching high and low for this knife that I know as a tournee knife. It is best used for peeling root vegetables in a long oblong seven sided football! Aside from the aesthetic element, the classic French technique helps vegetables like carrots, turnips and potatoes cook evenly. The blade easily lends itself to hulling strawberries, and is a true extension of the hand. The one piece construction makes it durable and the fact that it is light weight helps ward off hand fatigue.
This knife is truly an extension of my hand. Small sized and the blade shape is quite usefull in hulling strawberries, peeling fruits and vegetables. Feels like it was made for my small hands!
This is the best knife to use for peeling anything, from potatoes to peaches. I love the curve of the blade that hugs the fruit or vegetable that I'm peeling and the handle is so comfortable in my hand.
Sure you can peel with your normal paring knife but you can do so much more with a bird's beak peeler! In addition to peeling I use it for removing blemishes from fruits and vegetable, removing strawberry stems, slicing soft fruits like peaches or plums and even for trying my hand at decorative garnishes. I love the feel of my Twin signature knives because they are light weight with a really comfortable handle.
