Swiss Peeler

For the cook who has opinions about tools and is usually right.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

A sideways carbon-steel peeler that takes a long ribbon off a carrot instead of a fussy scrape.

Three reasons

  1. The blade geometry is the entire idea, and you feel it on the first potato.
  2. Kuhn Rikon has sold these by the tens of millions because the cheap peeler is worse.
  3. The link is the original blue Swiss peeler, the one people argue about.
