Turning knife 7 cm

tourné knife, also known as a paring knife, is a small, handy knife with a short, curved, or saber-shaped blade. The cutting edge, also called the "waist," is smooth, allowing for precise cuts. While it is ideal for peeling, it is also suitable for cleaning, hollowing, and decorating fruits and vegetables.

The name of this practical paring knife comes from the French word "tourner," which translates to "turn" and describes the knife’s basic function of peeling. For optimal handling, the blade should be approximately seven centimeters long.

The Blade

The tourné knife is forged from a single piece of stainless steel (steel material 1.4116) and is multiple ice-hardened. The finely polished blade surfaces and balanced rocking lines along the cutting edges ensure long-lasting sharpness and excellent cutting performance.

The Handle

The black, ergonomically designed plastic handle provides a secure and comfortable grip and is noted for its exceptionally attractive design and feel. The blade and handle are seamlessly and permanently connected.

A tourné knife is ideal for peeling and cleaning fruits and vegetables. It is particularly effective for working with rounded shapes, such as apples, mangos, or potatoes. Peeling is easy and quick with this knife. Thanks to its slightly curved blade, the skin of fruits and vegetables can be removed almost effortlessly. Since the knife can be guided smoothly along the cutting edge and does not penetrate too deeply into the food, important vitamins located just beneath the skin are preserved.

To maintain the sharpness of the tourné knife, it is recommended to clean it by hand and not place it in the dishwasher. To avoid dulling the blade from contact with other utensils, the knife should be protected with a blade guard when stored in a cutlery drawer. Alternatively, a knife block or magnetic strip is ideal for storing the tourné knife. To ensure long-term sharpness and optimal cutting performance, the knife should be regularly sharpened. Due to its curved blade, a round sharpening stone is recommended for maintaining the edge.
