Have this Peeler had more than 10 years in use, eventually gave the breaking point on. Now I have bought several new, some away because it is the best asparagus peeler, which ever came under my fingers. I use him as a universal peeler for asparagus, potatoes, apples, cucumbers, even Hokaido pumpkin can peel it. The flexibly mounted extremely sharp blade cuts without ever have any problem everything and is never dull. The asparagus a modeled shape seems a little silly at first glance but ergonomically it is first class, is well and securely in your hand, even if you have to peel times 10 kg asparagus succession, pushes and rubs anything. In Dishwasher he is very good clean, wash them by hand, goes well only with due caution, as the knife (see above) is very sharp. For the next asparagus season, I can only recommend any amateur and professional cooking this peeler.
