    I have that one too but that’s not the knife I’m talking about. It’s about the size of a paring knife and it hooks forward. Almost like a scythe but not nearly as dramatic or a curve.

    (When I get home from work I can upload a picture if anyone cares to help out.)

      I’m pretty sure it’s just called a bird’s beak paring knife.

      Reading further about it, it’s intended for tasks while holding the object you are cutting, rather than using a cutting board. Like peeling an apple in your hand.

        Ah okay that makes sense. I prefer a peeler, but I can see purists preferring such a knife. Thanks for the info.
