Brilliantly crafted tool for fine detail work.Feb 10, 2009
By Joshua G. Feldman
"Technophile"
Only a certain type of cook is going to need and use a bird beak paring knife. The one who likes to peel with a knife, rather than with a peeler. Try peeling a kiwi - the superiority of this knife is immediately obvious. Potatoes too - you can gouge out the eyes at the same time you slide off a peel. The nimble curve gets in nooks and crannies like no ordinary peeler can.
This shape also excels in a host of fine manipulations, from cutting the tops off of strawberries to intricate cuts for decorative garnishes. This little paring knife is nimble in ways that most others are not. Like most Wusthof forged knives this one has excellent balance and a small, light, nimble feel. The quality of the steel is excellent (high carbon that holds an edge well, but sacrifices stainlessness for hardness - mine is a bit stained at the tip from lots of citrus work and I care not in the least). The curved blade is slightly challenging to sharpen - but I get it razor sharp twice a year with my Lansky sharpening stone system and then keep it razor sharp the rest of the time with my steel.
This is a very small knife - the smallest I own. The Grand Prix handle design really helps the grip on such a little beast. For the kind of cook who will use and enjoy the bird's beak shape - this is the ultimate weapon - the best of this shape in the world.
Do I need one?Jan 09, 2009

I bought this to round out an ever-growing Grand Prix knife set. It's awesome for peeling kiwi, avacados and apples. If you need to peel, I highly recommend this one! Nice weight, perfect finish and appearance. May not fit large hands well.
