Linden Sweden Soft Grip Handle Peeler (1 Pack, Silver)

هناك أفضل منها بكثير و هذه لا أنصح بها أبداً

I got this very recently. It's lightweight and doesn't look like much but incredibly efficient at peeling veggies. I tried it on a tomato just to see if it could peel the thin skin and it actually did. If it stays as sharp after long term use then it's definitely worth it. Be very careful when you wash it, if you run your thumb along the blade it's easy to cut yourself - using an abrasive material would dull the blade so hand wash it but move your thumb lightly across the blade rather than along it.

The best…Il migliore !

Nice and sharp, but i find it hard to hold once my hands are wet. A rubbery handle cover would be an asset.

You used to be able to find decent quality, as cheap as chips vertical swivel peelers like this in every hardware shop on the high street. My last one, probably bought from Woolworths, lasted for several decades. But some time in the last 30 years it seems that they had almost entirely been replaced by the less ergonomic horizontal variety. You get use to them but I've always found them awkward to use for certain peeling jobs which the vertical set type has no problem tackling. You can also use the point of the vertical swivel blade for various purposes like digging out potato eyes without having to resort to a knife. My theory for the horizontal swivel's odd rise in popularity is that was probably because TV chefs were always seen using them. The result was the 'old fashioned' vertical swivel blade peelers became difficult to find in the shops and those that were available online were smaller and reviews often indicated they were less well made and, crucially, not as sharp. This one appears to be an exception but, at the price, that is what you would expect. I've only just received it and done some cursory tests but it is clearly well made, peels cleanly and thinly. In short it appears genuinely fit for purpose. The handle could be a little wider for my taste and hand size but otherwise the only negative is the price which is more than four times that of the cheapest alternatives here. Only time will tell whether it will last as long and perform as consistently as those old ones did. But if it does then the extra cost will have been more than worth it.
