Ultimately, the Kuhn Rikon won out over these also-great peelers because of what we know about its long-term ability to retain sharpness. We loved how comfortable the handle was to hold during our tests, even after a long session with potatoes. Also, the blade cut flawlessly in both directions, making it ideal for any cutting method and for both left- and right-handed users. The metal eye at the top lets you remove eyes from potatoes without reaching for a knife, and the hole in the handle can be used for hanging it on a hook.

It's still an absolute workhorse.Some peelers have multiple blade options in one if you want the option to switch between serrated and straight. Additionally, a swivel blade allows you to peel in both directions and with much more freedom, whereas using a stiffer, stationary blade means you'll have to be on top of holding it at the proper angle for it to grab the peel. Reviewers are immensely pleased with this product, noting that they were able to peel more difficult produce items, such as butternut squash. We found the same to be true during our tests, noting this peeler shines when working with firm produce, like carrots, apples, and cucumbers. However, we found it unable to peel softer-skinned fruit, like tomatoes; For that job, you’ll do better with one of the serrated blade peelers on this list. Manual peelers are available in a straight handle design or a Y-peeler. For the straight handles, the blade is parallel to the handle, so you’ll hold the blade on its side and work in a sideways fashion, sort of like you’re brushing hair. For a Y-peeler, the blade is perpendicular to the handle, so you’ll work in a more vertical motion like you’re painting a wall top to bottom. The difference in stroke can largely be left up to personal preference. Aside from the blade’s material, it is also worth considering how it is designed. Some blades are serrated, and others have a fine edge. Consider which makes more sense for the types of food that you’ll be peeling.
