The peeler is great in the hand, he has a good width for my small hands and by the rubberized grip, no slipping is possible. I have, but I have never before had such a peeler, hurt me neither mistake nor I had difficulties in the application. The blades are sharp and cut everything that is reasonably hard, with gentle pressure into fine spaghetti even strips. Then rinse and dry up under hot water and let it can back into the drawer. Perfect.
