It is hard to imagine how the traditional kitchen peeler could be substantially improved. Remarkably, the OXO Good Grips Peeler accomplishes this. Easier to use, vastly more comfortable for long stretches, sharper, and more productive. The OXO Peeler continues to win awards in test kitchens. A superior tool; worth the few extra dollars.
