This chart is missing a knife that I have. The blade hooks forward instead of backwards, like a bird’s beak.
Since it’s small and the tip extra pointy, I use it for precision cutting. I’ve also found it useful for thin slides of cheese, since the blade is also not as thick as the other knives in my set. Still, I’m wondering what its actual purpose is for.

Santoku knife. I was just about to comment the same thing.

I have that one too but that’s not the knife I’m talking about. It’s about the size of a pairing knife and it hooks forward. (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.

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

Peeling knife? There’s also hook knife, but that can be a variety of things. Cheese knife hooks backwards and has two points.
