I never thought that I write something here about a kitchen helper. To me: I am male, have no professional chef ambitions and still in their twenties. And yet, so a write what a Universal peeler? Yes! That was in addition to a knife block my first purchase of this kind on Amazon. And I must say ... any other peelers can you bend from now. Very good quality and very comfortable handling (compared IKEA peeler, stainless steel peeler from the USA). The blade is not very smooth, but with structure. Thus, the peeled foods are not so mushy on the outside and the shelling goes very well out of hand. If the blade should then be blunt to 1,378,291 carrots ... for NEN 5er can solve the problem immediately and order a new one. OR: Equal to buy a stock, as ingenious as those things are certainly not a drawback.
