Wusthof 4034 Gourmet Peeling Knife 2-1/4" WÜSTHOF Gourmet tornè peeling knife (bird's beak knife), drop point blade, black triple-riveted handle. Gourmet knives are not forged, but are good quality and affordable. Blade length 3" (7 cm). Very good for peeling fruits and vegetables because the cutting edge (on the inside of the curve) fits so neatly around anything with a round shape. The optimum high-carbon/stain-resistant alloy assures a long-lasting, easily restorable cutting edge. The blade is ground and polished to a luxurious satin finish. Molybdenum (MO) adds flexibility and resilency to the steel. The blade edge is hand-honed to perfection and is laser-tested for consistency. Three tubular, silver-nickel compression rivets secure the handles permanently and seamless to the tang. The handle is made of virtually indestructible "Hostaform-C", high-impact polypropylene, which is impervious to stains, seamless and totally hygienic. The handle is dishwasher safe, but the manufacturer highly recommends washing eash knife by hand with warm, soapy water and towel drying.
