Wusthof Classic Ikon Bird's Beak Peeling Knife

Love the styling and feels good in my hand. You know the reputation and its true. Cannot have too many paring knives.

I am a culinary student at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh and part of our training involves the tourné cut. The standard straight-bladed paring knife is quite awkward for doing these types of cuts, and my Chef recommended a bird's beak knife for them. I had decided to try wusthof because of reputation alone and I am happy to report that this knife lives up to all the hype!

The blade is so sharp you can shave with it (I tested it on my forearm and there's a baby-smooth patch there now!), and it is so thin that it just glides thru whatever you are cutting regardless of the angle or curve you are making.

The handle is extremely comfy and easy to grip, and the bolsters (weighted parts of the grip) perfectly balance the entire knife. The entire knife is very durable and easy to clean and sanitize.

If you are debating weather to buy this knife, I can say that you should pick it up! I have owned a lot of knives and I liked this one so much that I a, buying the rest of the 9 piece set now!

Oh and as a student or traveling cook/chef, the standard wusthof paring knife blade guard fits this knife perfectly, so no worries there
