This asparagus peeler works. He does not look so stylish, the handle is made of plastic, will probably represent asparagus. But he is very good in the hand and asparagus peeling works perfectly. I use it also for potatoes, fruit and carrots. However, the shell is cut slightly thicker than other peelers. I do not mind that, because that it is easily accessible. Who, like me, a slightly weaker hand has so copes very well.
