TOJIRO Bird’s Beak Paring Zen 70mm blade length will come in handy in home kitchens too, especially with peeling spherical fruits and veggies, although the standard shaped paring/petty knife should also do the trick.

BLADE SHAPE:
TOJIRO Bird’s Beak Paring Damascus knife is mostly used in professional kitchens for peeling or carving fruits and vegetables and is especially essential to tourne vegetables (a French staple technique).
STEEL:
This paring knife is part of the TOJIRO’s Zen knife series, featuring a popular VG-10 core steel with the hardness of 61 HRC, clad into 2 layers of softer stainless steel, featuring a beautiful migaki look.
