The Victorinox Peeler I bought on a recommendation in the journal Eating out who had recommended him as the best asparagus peeler on the market. When he came, I was surprised: the part is no more than palm-sized, has no handle, but is only held between thumb and forefinger and is so light that you hardly feel that you has something in his hand. In the application, the part is but quite wonderful. The cut shell falls down, without having to make the blade during peeling regularly clean about, the blade is very sharp and they cut thicker or thinner depending on the pressure. The device is easy to clean under running water. I find the peeler awesome for asparagus, potatoes, carrots, ... But I have to report that my husband and my son the peeler is a little delicate. Especially my husband missed a handle, he can take right into their own hands. However, I am very satisfied!
