I love my bird's break knife and use it a lot. Pineapple is where it really shines! However, I make sure my pineapple is good and ripe, which makes removing the eyes a simple flicking motion rather than having to dig around.
I’ve always used mine to devein shrimp. But I never bothered to learn what it was really for
Your ignorance will be your downfall for years to come.
Glad you mentioned that. I knew I had seen these used somewhere else besides to core fruits/veggies, and deveining shrimp was it.
Kitchen shears work wonders on shrimp. Use the tip of the scissors and insert that into the cavity that has the poop shoot. Works like a charm every time.
I bought a pair of curved scissor like thing from Italy that had a steel curved rod above the blade, perfect for de poop and remove shell
@@ronaldmunoz643 poop chute.
I’m a professional chef and have been using Mac knives for the better part of 20 years. I love my birds beak paring knife even tho I broke the tip off years ago🤦♂️ I still use it all the time.
I thought the pineapple was a cheese log with a fancy wrap until he cut it🤣
Jajaja😂
I've had a knife like this in a knife set for years and never knew what it was for! Now I know!
I've had the MAC bird's beak for some years now and love it for hulling strawberries and stemmint tomatoes. Do you have any hints for sharpening? I just sharpened my Felco blade on plant shears with a German cigar-shaped carborundum. It worked, but clumsily.
May you use UA-cam chapters please
So we can share each chapter
I have the recommended normal pairing knife and it’s actually too large for my hand. I’ve been considering this bird’s beak type, thanks for the review!
Thanks for this video ! I wanted to try my hand at making fruit & vegetable garnishes .This birds beak paring knife is just what I needed ❤
I love my birds beak knife from victorinox. It is perfect to peel and cut small fruits in bite sizes. Indeed I‘m a woman who have small/medium hands. My husband has extra large hands and he finds the same knife is best for opening packages of meats from supermarket 🤣
I also recommend rhe Victorinox Fibrox one. It's been a while, but I think I only paid abour $5 for it.
Can you add the playlist in description please
Interesting. I wasn't even aware of this type of knive. I'll have to check one out.
Would have liked to see the runner`s up or their budget pick b/c the winner is now $42.96.
Good for use on the streets too.
Ed Calderon would be proud
I wish you would try out masticating upright juicer!!!!! (Cold press juicer fresh idea)!!!!!!!!!
I try using my birds beak (mundial)knife but my hand tires more quickly than using my regular Victorinox paring knife. Odd since you’d think just the opposite would be the case.
I always feel sexually harassed when the gals do their outros. Or turned-on. I can't really tell.
have a birds beak knife... only used it when all of my other paring knives were dirty and i didn't want to wash.
A 3” bird’s beak knife is amazing. Try it, you will find new uses all the time.
I have a bird's beak paring knife that came as part of a set. I find that I use it in the summer to peel the skin off blanched peaches and tomatoes. It really does the trick getting off fruit and vegetable skins neatly.
Birds beak should be avoided just for the fact it is the hardest to sharpen.
I need to get one. So many uses.
This video inspired me to add to my collection. I am never inspired to buy a knife because it seems like an extra to me. This sounds essential. I just ordered it on Amazon and I can’t wait for it to arrive.
MAC makes excellent knives. They make my favorite bread knife as well.
Hi sweetie love all your recipes and recommendations thanks 🙏
I use them for detailed pumpkin carving.
Lol, just yesterday I bought the Victorinox set of 3 paring knives (traditional, serrated, and this style). Only $20.
I used your link to Amazon. It costs $45!
Please add the name of the knife. Could not quite understand him. Sounded like Mac’s paring knife but ???
Mac is indeed the brand.
We got the ATC price hike effect... It's 40.bucks now.. dang it
That is a fallacy. The reason the price goes up is that the primary seller runs out of stock and the profiteers step in to sell you the same thing at a much higher price. Wait a few days until they are able to restock, and you will get it at the regular price.
@@sandrah7512 NOTHING ever sells for MSRP. MSRP is just something stores use to show shoppers what a great deal they are getting when they buy something 'on sale'.
@@sandrah7512 I am sorry that you do not understand the concept of MSRP. I assume you have never worked in retail, or you would know that MSRP prices are often double what the actual selling price is. No store ever sells anything at MSRP, that price is only used so that stores can list it on their signs above their own selling price so that you will think you are getting a great deal because their price is so much lower.
For example, if you are shopping for a new television, the MSRP will usually be close to double the actual selling price at ANY store you will purchase it at. This applies to just about any retail product you will purchase. In any case, you can believe whatever you want to believe. It makes no difference to me. I will tell you that retail stores absolutely love people like you because you likely believe you are getting a great deal if they knock off 10% from MSRP.
@@sandrah7512 'Regular' price on advertising in a store or online is only meaningful if you know from experience that is the actual regular selling price. If you have never seen it selling for that price over a period of months, it is meaningless.
For example, I just purchased a 65" flat screen TV on Amazon at $400 off the regular price. I know this is a valid discount as the unit has been selling at the regular price for over a year. On occasion, it goes on sale, and I waited until it did before purchasing.
If someone is selling 'at cost', ask to see their invoice. Otherwise, it is just another marketing tactic. Stores only sell at cost when a product is approaching or has passed the BB date, and they cannot return it to the supplier for credit.
MSRP is about 200% profit, if not more, if something actually sold at that price point. 'Regular' price is likely close to 100% profit. I will leave it to you to figure out sale price profit margins yourself.
As far as a store making enough profit to stay in business, that is not my problem. If they cannot run their business well enough to turn a decent profit, perhaps they should not be running a business. My only concern is my own personal finances, which requires my getting the best deal on what I buy from any source.
Also a great type of knife for floral work!
Was $30, but now $45
Show the tests! That’s the action! I want to see it! Not just narration!
Shun.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Good to know.
What happened to the $30 price tag?
That left right after Inauguration Day, along with $2 gasoline.
This is stupid. Unless your working in a classic french restaurant, YOU DONT NEED THIS KNIFE.
Apparently, you've never hulled strawberries or tomatoes. My bird's beak knife is my favorite in the kitchen.
@@scottsmith7725 yeah, hi. Professional cook here. both jobs can be done without buying a special knife for it. Still a dumb purchase
Nice review, thanks. I have a bird's beak knife that I've had for years, and you're right. They are hard to sharpen. So, I guess I'll check out the one that was highly rated. Thanks!
Victrinox for me 😎
In my cart!
Wow now $40 on Amazon... 33% increase... Thanks sleepy Joe for all the inflation.
This inflation is global - from Japan to Argentina - everyone’s affected.
Can’t make a statement without making it political can you! First of all it’s not POTUS fault he does not control the price of oil. If you want to point fingers look toward OPEC they set the price per barrel plus the market. The POTUS CANNOT set the price of oil not the cost of refining and transportation. Next look at Russia and the war in UKRAINE. That has disrupted the markets and the food change. Then last but not least look at trumps poor response to the Covid pandemic. It closed supply chains world wide. And the biggest producer of goods for the US is China and they have kept there manufacturers closed for long periods of time. That slowed production and with increase demand that is causing prices to rise because there is not enough supply. Basic economics 101. There is not a lot the POTUS can do not even your boy trump if he was President. So educate yourself before you make statements about the economy being President Biden’s fault.
Every time ATK recommends an item, the price goes up bc sellers know people will pay it bc ATK recommended it.
@@mtnx7 Japan inflation hits 7-year high of 2.1% in April
Prices shoot past BOJ's 2% target, but central bank unlikely to tighten soon
You just wrote a check your big mouth couldn't cover... I wish we had 2.1% inflation in the USA. With joe in charge you should be comparing us to Venezuela not Argentina.
Stop being a sheep. It's dynamic pricing. Amazon sees increased demand so they raise the price.
