Global GSF-17 2-1/2" Bird's Beak Curved Peeling Knife – Molybdenum/Vanadium Stainless Steel, Stainless Handle

This little bird's beak knife follows every curve of a potato like it was designed for it. Because it was, I suppose. Zero waste, zero slips.

I do a lot of garnish work and tourne cuts, and the curved blade on the GSF-17 makes shaping vegetables almost effortless. It came razor sharp out of the box and has held its edge through weeks of daily prep. The one-piece stainless construction means no gunk hiding in a handle seam, which my health inspector appreciates as much as I do.

Cuts beautifully and the curve is ideal for peeling apples and shallots. My only gripe is the handle feels a bit thin for my larger hands, so I grip it higher on the neck. Still reach for it every day though.

Been cooking professionally for 30 years and this is the best peeling knife I've owned. Sharp, balanced, easy to keep clean.

The edge is fantastic for delicate peeling work, but it dulled faster than expected on hard squash. Fine for softer produce. Also, hand wash only, so factor that in.

My daughter and I peel fruit together on weekends and this knife makes it so easy. It's small enough for her to handle safely with supervision, and the curved blade gets under apple skin in one long strip. Very pleased.

Nothing wrong with the quality, but at 2.5 inches the blade just feels cramped for everyday peeling. I kept reaching for my regular paring knife instead. Returned it.

One-piece steel, no rivets, no seams — exactly what you'd expect from Global. Takes a great edge on my whetstone.

Bought this half off and honestly would pay full price. The bird's beak shape makes peeling ginger, shallots, and new potatoes genuinely fun. Hand washing takes ten seconds since there's no handle joint. If you do any amount of detailed knife work, this belongs in your block.
