Designed to clean silver skin from tenderloins and portions of boneless proteins with ease. Use it in hand to peel a potato, but then use the same knife to slice the potato for au gratin. Just the right size for sectioning citrus from a large grapefruit to a smaller lime. It beautifully stems and seeds peppers, shaves garlic, and makes itself generally useful for any task that requires accuracy, agility, and efficient cutting.
