Practical, essential and quick to use. The movable blade adapts to the surface for accurate cutting. The wide cut prevents the peels from getting stuck. The tip on the end is useful for removing sprouts, "eyes" and flaw in foods. Easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Great for potatoes and other tubers, vegetables such as carrots, courgettes, cucumbers and radishes, as well as apples and fruit with skin.
