Victorinox - Potato Peeler Lh

My potato peeler got broke... After 20 years of absolutely dedicated service and moving 4 times without being lost. My idiot boyfriend decided to use it to remove a VW badge from the back of my van - Who Does That!!! I was utterly livid... He couldn't understand why "it's a potato peeler I'll buy you another one" "It wasn't JUST a potato peeler it was the bestest sharpest most easy to use potato peeler I've had for over 20yrs and YOU BROKE IT"I admit I lost my sh*t because I couldn't for the life of me remember the make.I went on Amazon and brought a Sabatier peeler - it's a Sabatier must be good eh? They make good knives - it arrived next day and O M G the worst peeler I've ever tried I could have peeled easier with a finger nail it would have been sharper!!! So I looked at reviews and ordered an OXO one next (so far we're over 15quid on peelers!) it was a great peeler but the cutting head moved and I was used to a fixed blade. But it would do....Then I was listening to a book on Audible last week and a Victorianox knife was mentioned and the bells in my head exploded... That was it... It was a Victorianox peeler I had before!! To say I was ecstatic was an understatement (yes lockdowns making the little things matter I know!!) so I quickly ordered one and it arrived yesterday... Apart from the handle design having changed from 20yrs ago (it's slightly thinner which doesn't sit in the hand as good as it did tbh) it's still as sharp and as wonderful to peel with... So 20 odd quid later I'm a happy bunny and the boyf is forgiven.."Just a peeler" 🙄🙄🙄

This peeler is very well made. It is sharp and works very well. I use it mainly for peeling carrots. It is also very good for hulling strawberries and is very easy to keep clean. I have bought several as presents for other people.

Super peeler. Sharp. Peelings don’t jam. Only criticism is the handle is very small, more suited to a child’s hand than an adult’s. The handle could do with being bigger to fit an adult better. And also be a colour other thab black - can’t find it easily in the drawer.

This is the best potato peeler you can get. It is sharp, but works just as well when the sharpness wears off after a year or so. It is ergonomically perfect. I see reviews saying “the handle is small” but you should hold this peeler between the 4 pads of your fingertips and the fleshy pads just below your finger base. This leaves your thumb free to hold and manipulate the potato. The peeler cuts to just the right depth consistently and it can be used left or right handed. It is elegant and simple in design, the stainless blade will not tarnish and it is strong enough for you to use the tip to “de-eye” a potato. It is one of the safest potato peelers to use (no chance of it getting out of control and causing a cut) and it floats if you prefer to peel in water. I have purchased one of these peelers for a few of my friends and they love them. Buy one of these and you will not be disappointed.

Used for veg peeling good brand name seems quite robust but for me not so easy to use as the cutting edge is fixed so not suited to the way I peel but will have it on stand by.

The media could not be loaded. My old faithful Victorinox peeler which we have had for years, since long before we had a dishwasher, is finally showing signs of wear in the wooden handles, probably as a result of being put in the dishwasher. I was please to find this one which is much the same apart from having a plastic handle. I note that the wooden handle version is also available on Amazon.I picked this one because I thought the plastic handle would be even more durable to that of its predecessor. It certainly feels the part. When I was using it to peel vegetables ready for Christmas dinner it felt comfortable in my had and was very easy to use. I was able to finely scrape the carrots, peel potatoes with ease and use the pointy end to dig out 'eyes' from the spuds.The blade is pretty stiff and tough. The handle may not quite have the tactile joy of a wooden one but as already mentioned feels good to hold.

Can be used left or right handed. Excellent product.

Potato peeler are a very personal items, you either love them or hate them. A favourite peeler is very difficult to replace. I often find my fingers get peeled as much as the veg, or it takes too much off the veg. After many fails, this one has proved satisfactory for me. (High praise). It has a small handle which suits my hands. It has sharp peeling edges, and good geometry which gives a peeling action i like. The long metal edges are NOT sharp or toothed, and do not cut my fingers. The tip IS sharp for eye removal. Yes it is a bit pricey but it suits me perfectly, and takes up little drawer space. After many fails, this is a keeper for me.
