Vegetable & Fruit Carving Knife Bird's Beak, Kom-Kom (Yellow)

Also known as tourne knives, bird's beak knives are often used interchangeably with paring knives whilst working on fruit and vegetable carvings. Due to its unique shape, the bird's beak knife is also a very handy kitchen tool for improvised garnishing.

The bird's beak fruit carving knife is perhaps the most important knife in any fruit carver's armory. The blade is two inches long with a solid plastic handle. The stubby shape of the blade is absolutely ideal for both simple tornee cuts as well as for carving more intricate designs, especially those inspired by traditional Thai artwork. The size of the knife ensures that the carver can get his/her hands close to the design whilst keeping the knife steady and avoiding irritating mistakes. Using longer knives with straight spines can often result in grazing finished areas of patterning. Bird's beak knives are designed to aid precision, prevent accidents, and heal blemishes.

To offer an example of a bird's beak knife in application, consider the carving of petals when working on a pumpkin. Even though the flesh of the pumpkin is reasonably solid to work with, carved flower petals are still comparatively weak and difficult to repair. The bird's break makes short work of carving the underside of the petal without needing to rely too heavily upon keeping a perfectly steady hand. Likewise, when working between petals and texturing, the birds beak is light enough to drag softly over and around the flowers without breaking the flesh.

This knife is also available as part of our: Kiwi Kom-Kom Fruit & Vegetable Garnishing Knives, Tools Set and our Fruit and Vegetable Carving Knives, Set C.

Known by reputation to be the very best knives that Thailand has to offer, Kom-Kom's designs are both attractive and practically suited for everyday use.

Fruit Seeding Knife, Kom-Kom (Yellow)

The three inch seeding knife is an odd yet extremely useful knife. One of the three most essential fruit carving knives, seeding knives are designed to make difficult carving tasks easy.

Often referred to as a 'curved carving knife', this seeding knife has a long blade that is primarily suited for removing seeds, carving in "tricky areas", and preparing fruits and vegetables in a similar way to a paring knife. Of the two seeding knives that Kom-Kom produces, this is the only one with an easy-to-clean plastic handle. Perhaps the oddest of the three most commonly used fruit carving knives, the usefulness of the seeding knife isn't plainly apparent until appreciated in context. Consider the way a painter uses the hard pointed end of a paintbrush to remove debris from of a painting; seeding knives work in very much the same way. Like an extended claw, the seeding knife can be used to target difficult-to-reach areas of a carving in order to make the necessary cuts or carry out the reparations required. If carving a container out of melon, for example, the seeding knife is ideal for fishing out intrusive loose pieces and for making sure that the deep inner corners of the vessel are sharp and well defined.

This blade is one of the three absolutely essential fruit carving knives required to follow the instructions in our vegetable and fruit carving books as well as those featured in our own fruit carving guides
