5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ever, April 27, 2008

These are the best peelers ever made. As a professional chef, I've been using the same Rikon peeler for 6 years. It can still slice off my finger tip, even after the several tons of potatoes, turnips, beets, lemons, oranges, asparagus, apples, and carrots it has peeled. And no one has yet beaten me in the "Who Can Peel Fifty Pounds of Potatoes the Quickest" challenge. My peeler and my chef's knife are the two items no one is ever allowed to touch.

I've been a professional Chef for about 15 years now and nothing comes close to how well these work and how cheap they are. Best peeler for the money you're ever going to find. Only thing I would say is make sure you dry them off completely before putting them away, prone to rust over a long period of time. BUT they wont lose their edge before you lose it or break it. (buy more than one, any cooking friend will want one)

Actually use these in my restaurant. The peeler itself is cheap and flimsy, but surprisingly rugged. It has held up for a good six months so far under heavy use and still peels very well. I have tried all sorts of peelers from the so called 'commerical' ones you buy from restaurant supply places to OXO and kitchen aid, and this holds its own. From a quality to price standpoint, this peeler is top notch.
OXO sells replacement cartridges for its peelers now that may be a better overall bargain..instead of trowing away the peeler, just get new blades.
