A Bird's Beak paring knife is often used for many in-hand tasks such as coring, peeling, and trimming; thick apples, artichokes, various fruits, and garlic etc.

The curved blade helps with carving out smooth and rounded vegetables. This is commonly used to "turn" carrots and potatoes into football shapes.
It is an extremely versatile tool that when you get a really good one, you start to wonder how you managed to cook all these years without it.
