Windmühlenmesser 2" Birds Beak Paring Stainless Cherry

This stainless steel 2" bird's beak is perfect for smaller tasks and in-hand paring. These knives were used widely among the everyday cook, and would commonly be used in the Salle D'Office or the pantry prep room. Windmühlenmesser is known for their office knives!

Robert Herder Windmühlenmesser knives are made in Solingen, Germany, and still utilize old hand-work techniques. Their fine, hand-ground blades are extremely light and ground thin- they offer a great cutting feel that is not possible with chunky, mechanized-ground blades. Paired with a slight convexity, it makes for reduced friction and sticking during cutting.

Windmühlenmesser has worked hard to establish an extensive apprenticeship program at their workshop. There, craftspeople work to preserve old techniques that have nearly disappeared from Solingen.
