Shun Classic Bird's Beak 65mm
The Shun Classic 2.5-inch Bird's Beak Knife is designed for intricate, decorative cuts—like radish rosettes or fluted mushrooms—and for detailed tasks like removing blemishes, peeling, and slicing soft fruits such as nectarines or plums. Its curved blade allows for close cuts near the peel, helping you keep more of the fruit or vegetable. Also known as a tourne knife, this tool excels at creating the highly sculpted tourne cut. While it’s a specialty knife, it’s a must-have if presentation is key in your cooking.
Features of the Shun Classic Bird’s Beak Knife:
- VG-MAX cutting core: Shun’s proprietary steel offers exceptional wear and corrosion resistance, a fine-grained structure, and a razor-sharp 16° edge on each side for long-lasting sharpness.
- 68 layers of Damascus cladding: Adds core support, stain resistance, and helps prevent food from sticking to the blade.
- D-shaped, ebony-finished Pakkawood handle: Comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, this handle is beautiful, durable, and resists bacteria.
- Full composite tang: Provides perfect balance and a lighter weight for effortless handling.
Handcrafted in Japan, this elegant Bird's Beak Knife brings precision and artistry to every cut, making it a valuable addition to your collection.
