Wusthof Classic Ikon Peeling Knife

A peeling knife, often called a bird's beak knife, features a curved blade specifically designed for intricate tasks like peeling round fruits and vegetables, creating decorative garnishes, and removing blemishes from produce.

The double bolster design adds weight to both the handle and the blade, creating a perfectly balanced feel in your hand. This balance provides better control and stability, which is essential when performing delicate, detailed work.

While the synthetic handle is durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing all high-quality forged knives. Dishwashers can dull the blade edge prematurely and the high heat can damage the handle material over time.

Forged knives are crafted from a single piece of steel, which generally results in a stronger, more durable blade that holds its edge longer. This construction method also allows for the inclusion of a bolster, which adds weight and improves overall balance.

This knife is specialized for precision work and peeling, so it is not designed for general chopping or heavy-duty tasks. For chopping vegetables or herbs, a chef's knife or paring knife would be a more effective and safer choice.
