koorimisnuga
A koorimisnuga, which translates from Estonian as "peeling knife," is a type of kitchen utensil primarily used for removing the skin or peel from fruits and vegetables. Its design typically features a short, sharp blade that is often curved or angled. This shape allows for precise control and maneuverability, making it ideal for intricate tasks like peeling apples, potatoes, or carrots. The blade can be either fixed to the handle or part of a multi-tool. In some contexts, the term might also refer to a small, specialized knife for general paring or trimming. The koorimisnuga is a fundamental tool in many kitchens, valued for its efficiency and ease of use in food preparation.
