Purple Original Swiss Peeler, Set of 1

Very sharp and easy to handle. But pay attention to the note: this is not a stainless steel blade, it's carbon steel, which will rust if not washed and dried by hand. So not dishwasher safe. This item was ordered as a "add this item to tomorrows delivery" but was NOT in that order, so Amazon provided a replacement. A week later, the original has never shown up, only the replacement. I will never do an add-on item again.

Very sharp works better than my regular peeler did. Careful, it’s sharp. Not dishwasher safe. Make sure to dry it as soon as it’s washed, it will rust if put away wet.

It took some time for the review because honestly, how often do you use a peeler? And then I used this peeler. Now I'm peeling things just for the fun of it. The ergonomics are great (which would be true for every peeler of this type). It's not that the handle is so great (I'm sure OXO could make something more comfy). It's really because of the "Y" shape and the fact that you can easily peel toward yourself, or away. But that's all true for every peeler of this kind. What makes this peeler great is how SHARP it is. It takes amazingly thin peels off, leaving beautiful carrots, celery, etc. behind. And that makes it effortless. And if you want to use it to make thin-sliced carrots, zucch.s etc. you'll have the thinnest ribbons possible. I found myself not peeling vegetables, saying "all the good stuff is in the peel." But homestly, it was partly because peeling is a pain. But now, I peel (sometimes only remove some of the peel) because it's easy, precise, and it makes the textures of the veg. more interesting. At some point you're going to need a peeler. If I could have only one, this would be it.

This is NOT DISHWASHER SAFE. By KUHN RIKON? and not dishwasher safe. When I was filling out the return, it asked if something was inaccurate. So just to be sure I checked the listing, and lo and behold it said to hand wash, towel dry immediately (yes immediately) and not to put in the dishwasher. So is it my fault? Of course yes. I assumed quality because of the name, and frankly could no imagine a company making a peeler that is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash and towel dry "immediately"??? Sounds like a company not familiar with how things go in a kitchen, which goes against everything they I thought they did. Oh well.

It's not a bad peeler, but doesn't really live up to the hype as advertised. The metal part isn't as sharp as I personally would like it. No serious complaints though.

Hands down best peeler out there. This thing rocks! One thing to mention, dry it after you clean it or it will develop a little rust.

It slices, it dices, it stirs, it fries. Just kidding. It peels, but it does it really well. The Swiss know what they're doing. Handle length is comfortable and appropriately sized for a range of hand sizes and the grip is firm/comfortable. The peeler took a few veggies worth of peeling to get used to the motion of peeling towards yourself. Previously, I had never used a Y-peeler. That said, I feel like the device is about as safe as a peeler can be. It's too soon to rate for longevity but the peeler feels like a quality kitchen utensil and I'm sure it will be around for a long time.

Worked really well. However, I washed and dried by hand and it rusted after I used the first time. Did the same thing the 2nd time. Not using any more. Gave a 3 because it does cut really well, but cleaning this device is not worth it.

I was looking forward to having this peeler having read so many reviews about Kuhn Rikon but at my second use, the black coating on the blades came off eventhough I had used a soft dishwashing sponge for cleaning, and it started rusting!! Major disappointment for such a reputable brand.

Es cómodo sostenerlo y se desliza suavemente cortando la piel de frutas y verduras. Un poco caro para mi gusto, pero me atrajo lo del acero suizo, espero que dure mucho tiempo afilado, para justificar el gasto.

These are brilliant. They cut the thinnest peel I have ever managed and feel substantial, built to last. I previously owned some nearly the same from Lak*land which I thought I loved best, but their lighter handles always snap apart eventually, whereas these are made more heavily. The blade is super sharp, yesterday I used them for peeling peppers, which I used to laboriously flame burn, in the past, to relieve them of the bitter skin. The roasted peppers were delicious, and prepared in moments. It must be good to peel extra finely as the nutrients in fruit and veg are largely below the skin anyway. I am really happy to have found these and reading the positive reviews gave me confidence.

I've bought 3 of these over the past decade and while I've broken one, I will always stick with these. I don't remember which site recommended them but I've tried quite a few other styles of peelers and none worked better. And somehow it always stays sharp. I was peeling carrots last night with one that I bought 5 years ago and it still flies through the job.

Got it last week. Used it a few times. Works fine but i thought the blade would be sharper. It is on par with my old one which is around 20 years old. Bit of a letdown but still nice for the price
