Product Description
The WÜSTHOF Gourmet 2 1/4" Peeling Knife makes precise peeling, trimming, and shaping of rounded fruits and vegetables easy. Its short, curved bird’s-beak blade follows the contours of potatoes and apples, helping you remove thin skins while preserving more of the flesh and nutrients beneath. Also known as a turning or tourné knife, its plain edge offers control for hollowing out produce and creating decorative cuts.
Family-owned for more than 200 years, WÜSTHOF remains rooted in Solingen, Germany, the renowned City of Blades. Its heritage brings high-precision production together with traditional artisanship, guided by generations of knife-making expertise and a commitment to enduring quality. This Gourmet peeling knife is made in Germany using non-forged construction.
