A turning knife (also known as a peeling knife) is a short curved blade, which is especially well-suited to handheld peeling of round fruits and vegetables. The tip of a turning knife is optimal for scoring meats and bread doughs, carving shapes into fondant, creating decorative garnishes like rosettes, and making decorative cuts known as “tournées” - hence the name!
