Victorinox Cutlery 2-1/2-Inch Bird's Beak Paring Knife, Black Polypropylene Handle. A Birds Beak Paring Knife is a different shape than a traditional old faithful paring knife.  The point of the blade curves down making it extra easy to cut rounded objects like peaches, apples, and coring strawberries. You won't use it every day for small cutting tasks, but the day you start peeling grapes or tournee vegetable you'll be glad you have one!---Also a nice present for a chef!
