A bird’s beak knife, also known as a tourné knife, is a small, curved-blade knife designed for precision cutting tasks. Its distinctive curved blade resembles a bird’s beak, allowing for better control when peeling, trimming, or shaping fruits and vegetables. Commonly used in professional kitchens, this knife is ideal for creating tourné cuts, where vegetables like potatoes or carrots are shaped into small, football-like forms for even cooking and elegant presentation. The curved blade also makes it excellent for peeling round fruits like apples and oranges with minimal waste. Its ergonomic design enhances precision, making it a valuable tool for chefs and home cooks alike.
