Perfect for prepping chestnuts for roasting, especially for Christmas.

Sturdy well made knife. Hooked tip to the blade makes it easy to score crosses in the faces of the chestnut and safer to score around the circumference making them a doddle to remove the shells. Not sure how to sharpen the blade should it ever need it. Overall, pleased with the purchase.

Very handy little knife, useful for many things not only peeling chestnuts
