Customer Reviews of Wüsthof Classic 2-3/4-Inch Peeling Knife
Customer Rating:  Summary: Brilliantly crafted tool for fine detail work. Comment: 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 Classic 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. 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Love this knife Comment: 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. Customer Rating:  Summary: Seldom used Comment: This knife is well constructed but I haven't used it much. It may be just what YOU are looking for but the curve is more radical than I thought it would be and so I've had very little use for it. Customer Rating: Summary: Best small knife you can have Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Wüsthof Bird's Beak Knife Comment: 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. More Reviews Thanks to its blade size and precision, the black-handled 2.75-in. Paring Knife by Wusthof Classic is a superior tool for delicate tasks. Prized possessions of professional chefs, Wusthof knives are an invaluable asset of any kitchen. Every element of this renowned cutlery contributes to its precision and ease of use.

The high-carbon stainless steel blades are hardened to maintain a sharp edge and full tangs provide perfect balance with riveted, high-impact composition handles. 
Choosing Appliance -> Baking sheete Not too much romance here, but essential for any functional kitchen. Buy the heaviest pans possible. Also, you should consider buying a non-stick silicon sheet: they make baking very easy! Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot. Wüsthof Classic 2-3/4-Inch Peeling Knife
Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Natural Granite Maintenance Granite must not be rubbed with abrasive materials instead, wash with clean warm water to which a non-abrasive light neutral detergent (PH7) may be added.
