And anyone can use it, whether you are right handed, left handed, or -- like a politician -- underhanded. It's Swiss quality! See that loop on the side? That gets the eyes of your potatoes, and cleans up pineapples without wasting any fruit! It even slices cheese into wafer thin slices, effortlessly!

I have 3 years buying this peeler and absolutely love it and will never use another as long as I can. It peels everything so easily, quickly and slices thin as well. Like coleslaw? Well this makes thin slivers of cabbage a breeze.The handle can be turned around to scoop out the guts of a melon, pumpkin etc... The notch on the side pulls out the eyes of potatoes easy as well.

I have arthric hands and cannot peel without causing me much pain but with this wide handle, I can for long periods of time without effort. I gift these to all the cooks I know and we are all in awe of this great product.

I will be honest and state that it does rust easily if you do not oil the hinge after every use (cooking oil is all that is needed), and is not dishwahser safe but it is worth the effort.

I've had this for over a year, and I love it. Everyone that ever used it in my kitchen also loved it.

Just be careful and don't use it for peeling small or round things like apples for example, or you'll cut nice thin pieces of your holding thumb just like I did.

This peeler is perfect for big potatoes, squash, carrots, cucumbers, or anything that's elongated.

Also, do not wash it in the dishwasher, or leave it in water. Just rinse it right after use and hang it to dry. You don't want rust on it, do ya?

You know when you peel a pineapple with a knife and you leave all the bits behind? Use the eye, you pull the bits out the back. Use the same eye, you're gonna make really good french fries. You know why they're so good? They've got three sides, not four (that's how the French make them). They use less oil, and they cook quicker. And if you want to make them taste great, you leave the skin on the potato. You don't peel it, you wash it. Cook them like that with the skin on. And if you cook these yourself without trans-fat, you wash them down with red wine, you'll never die. You'll live forever.

I purchased one of these more than 10 yrs ago at a county fair. The blade rusted because my children put in dishwasher. It is the BEST peeler in the world. I refused to throw it out even when it rusted because it's the best I ever used. So I went online to find if available and was thrilled when I found on Amazon. Bought 2 so I know I have my peelers for life!

I bought this to use for making garnishes and for peeling melons at work. At work, we make fruit trays and need to peel melons quickly. It did not work well on melons no matter which side of the blade you used, which direction you went on the mellon or how hard you pressed down on it. It just slid along the outside of the melon. Too much play in the bladeto make the cut. It is not as wide as I thought it would be and, therefore, doesn't give you the advantage of making wide cuts to get the melon peeled faster. Just another, everyday household veggie peeler.

This peeler can tackle the toughest jobs- I was amazed at how effortless it was to peel a potato, cucumber, etc. I even tried it on a tough-skinned jicama and made peeling it a breeze! You won't go back to a traditional peeler ever again after using this "pro" version.

Wore one of these out and fortunately found them on Amazon.com. Ordered one that I use all the time and one for a spare. Love these, good for hands with arthritis. A great sharp peeler that last with heavy use for years. Highly recommend.

I was essentially looking for the Joe Ades potato peeler... the man who sold them on the streets in New York. The picture on the Amazon site looks just like his. Obviously this one is NOT the same quality. I had ordered 2, but will be returning them.

I got myself one love it.
Buying this item now for great Christmas gifts.
I knew Amazon would have them when no one would.
