The Y-peeler design allows for more control and customization than any other shaped peeler, plus you can use it in both directions. This peeler is designed with a sharp eye that can carve out eyes or blemishes on potatoes and other produce, and the comfortable, non-slip contoured handle allows for the user to choke up or grip farther back, depending on how they prefer to hold the tool.

Should the blade ever become dull, you can change it out for a new blade replacement cartridge (sold separately). The extra-durable, stainless steel swivel blade can work through produce of all shapes, sizes, and toughness. This Y-peeler model is a go-to for professionals and home chefs alike.

Also, the blade cut flawlessly in both directions, making it ideal for any cutting method and for both left- and right-handed users.
