The bird’s beak paring knife is designed for precision in the hand rather than on the board.
With its short, curved 70mm blade, it excels at peeling round fruit and vegetables, tournée work, trimming and decorative prep. The inward curve allows the blade to follow contours naturally, giving excellent control with minimal wrist movement.
Compact, light and purpose-built.

Made from stainless steel for easy maintenance and reliable corrosion resistance.
Ground thin in the traditional Windmühlenmesser style, it offers clean cutting performance despite its small size — light, agile and efficient.

Founded in 1872 in Solingen, Germany, Robert Herder remains family run and committed to traditional grinding methods.
Their knives are known for being thinner and lighter than typical Western equivalents, with performance driven by grind and geometry rather than bulk.
