Bird's beak knives

 A lot can be said about bird's beak knives, but I consider the main issue to be that the handle is thin enough to hold it with my fingers, and that it is short enough to use with my thumb opposed. The photos will show why. In this case this is about coring and quartering strawberries - and, of course, in the process you can easily cut out any bad spots with the tip.

And here is the overview of the whole breakfast almost finished.

And here is the finished dish with some hemp seeds spread on top, see below for the dish complete with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

The final result, with a drizzle of balsamic.

Steelcut oats, ground granny smith, blueberries, raisins, goji berries, dates, topped with strawberries, banana, hempseeds and a drizzle of balsamic.

What a way to start your day.
