This Swiss made all metal peeler with a carbon steel blade is a very, very good peeler. However it is not the best. The best peeler I have ever had is my recently deceased all metal Japanese made peeler. The two look almost exactly alike, except that my Japanese peeler was stainless steel with a serrated stainless steel blade that could peel soft vegetables like tomatoes!
Thank you to my daughter who researched online and bought this for me from Sydney's Peters of Kensington online store - a fantastic store that we miss dreadfully.
