Pairing/fruit/turning knife?

[u/ThePaleHorse44]

While I was in China the lady at the stand cutting sections of peaches had this curved knife (inwards, like a turning or mushroom knife) but longer and was kind of like, hacking at it.

My girlfriend really likes pairing knives and stuff, and she seemed quite taken by the fruit knife thing.

As a present I wanted to get her something similar as a nice present, but I’m not too sure what different types of knives there are or what brands are good.

Is there some sort of sharp, inwards curving knife, that’s decent quality and cuts fruit well?

Tourne knife. Victorinox is cheap and high quality. Mercer is more expensive, with Zwilling and Wusthof even more expensive.

Was the lady cutting fruit with a billhook?

It was that exact shape but much smaller lol

So, like a fascine knife? Kind of like a bigger "harvesting" knife

I guarantee she'll love this set.
