Victorinox Swiss Classic Shaping knife 6cm

The tiny curved knife on the pass at a fine dining restaurant is a tourné knife, and its job is turning vegetables into seven-sided barrels that nobody at home will ever make. That is fine. At home it peels an onion in one motion, carves a strip of lemon peel for a drink, and handles anything that wants more control than a paring knife gives. It is Victorinox, so the sharpness is Swiss.

The LADJA team uses it for:

• Peeling onions and shallots
• Carving lemon, lime and orange peel
• Peeling ginger, although a spoon might be better
• Turning vegetables, when we feel like showing off
