Wusthof Grand Prix II 2-3/4-Inch Peeling Knife
This classic tourne-style 2-3/4-inch knife is the tool of choice for precision tasks like peeling, paring and pitting. Curved like a bird’s beak with a sharply pointed tip, it hugs the contours of rounded surfaces, making it perfect for peeling apples and pears, de-boning small poultry or carving decorative garnishes. Like the rest of the Grand Prix2 line, this knife is safe in the dishwasher, but hand wash for best results.Grand Prix2 knives offer a compelling blend of precision, comfort, and legendary Wüsthof quality. Like the Grand Prix line, Grand Prix2 boasts a high-performance handle and a sleek contemporary look, with the addition of a more rolling, rounded profile that fits beautifully into the pocket of the palm. Molded ergonomically designed handles are pebble-textured for slip resistance even when wet, then permanently bonded to the entire tang for a superbly balanced feel. Blade, bolster, and tang are precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel for the ultimate in strength and durability. A computer-controlled process grinds and polishes the blade so it’s perfectly tapered from back to edge and tip to handle. The edge is then twice honed by hand and finally laser-tested for long-lasting sharpness. Grand Prix2 cutlery is made in Germany and carries a lifetime warranty against defects.--Mary Park
