Taper Ground Edge

This knife's high carbon, traditional German no-stain steel blade features hand-polished edges that are taper ground for superior stability, easy-honing, and long-lasting sharpness.

Thick Bolster

Versatile Design

Also known as a tourner knife, this knife is perfect for creating intricate garnishes and precise cuts for elaborate presentations. A tourne cut is most commonly used to prepare potatoes, carrots, or squash, giving these formless vegetables a defined, blunt-ended football shape when they are being served as part of a main entree. Add it to your kitchen to ensure you and your staff have the proper tool to complete food preparation tasks effectively and efficiently.

The razor-sharp contoured blade and pointed tip make peeling and carving produce a cakewalk. The knife is 7-3/8" long from end to end, with handle being 3-13/16"

Just like all the other Mercer Genesis knives, this one has a forged blade, the same rubberized handle (which is quite nice) and a bolster without a gap. The blade geometry makes peeling fruits and veggies a breeze, and its also good for some decorative garnishes!

I use a Mercer peeling knife to do all of my tourne work. After trying some of my friends' knives, I will say that these are as good+ as the pricier options.

This is a high quality knife with a very sharp and lasting edge. I used it often during the holiday season and found the handle to be very comfortable and non-slip. This is a very nice knife, especially for the price.

I love the handles and feel of Mercer's Genesis product line of knives. I combined the Bird's Peak peeling knife with the 3.5" paring knife and the 5" utility knife as three piece set and gave them to my wife as a "just because" present. She loves them and uses them all the time, just like an apple a day!

This has to be the best peeling knife that I have ever used! It is very sharp right out of the package and it peels with ease. I love how comfortable the handle feels in my hand. I will buy again.

This is a very nice peeling knife. It is easy to hold and we find the curved shape has multiple uses. We cut the tops out of strawberries and tomatoes. It works great to cut the center out of peppers when we make stuffed peppers.

Excellent knife. Feels good in my hand and very sharp. I used it to clean and process ears of corn and it sliced through everything. I would purchase another if I had the need to.

This is an amazing knife that is a "must-have" for every serious chef! Not just for garnishing, it makes prepping onions so much easier than with a paring knife.

I use this knife for peeling potatoes, mango, peaches, etc. it is a fantastic little knife. The material that coats the handle is nice. I feel confident that these knives will not slip out of my hand.

Have had this knife for years in my knife kit from school. 6 years later, i'm still using it and it holds a great edge. Nice for torneing potatos and radishes. Also great for peeling.
