Know before you buy
A turning knife, or bird's beak knife, is specifically designed for peeling, trimming, and shaping fruits and vegetables. Its curved blade is ideal for creating decorative garnishes like tournéed potatoes or removing blemishes from produce.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To protect the high-carbon steel edge and the integrity of the handle, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.
Being forged from a single piece of steel provides superior balance, weight, and durability compared to stamped blades. This process ensures the knife is robust enough to hold a razor-sharp edge through frequent, precise tasks.
NSF approval indicates that the knife meets rigorous standards for hygiene, material safety, and construction quality. While often cited in professional kitchens, it serves as a reliable benchmark for home cooks looking for a sanitary and well-built tool.
The high-carbon, no-stain steel is designed to be both durable and resistant to corrosion. While it is easy to maintain, you should keep the blade clean and dry to prevent spotting and use a sharpening steel or stone occasionally to keep the edge performing at its best.
