The front of the blade is more curved so the knife can be rocked gently forward after each cut and encourage good technique.

The GFS-16 works well as a peeling knife or paring knife and is sort of between both. The down-turned tip of the blade is said to resemble the shape of a lamb's foot because of the curved edge and flat blade. For those wanting a proper peeler, we suggest the GSF-17 as it has a fully curved blade, but if it is a choice between a GSF-17 and a GSF-15, the GSF-16 is a good compromise and can be used for most small kitchen tasks.
