There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After reading a few reviews, I bought this peeler. When it arrived, my wife was not too happy that I replaced her high end peeler with a junky looking plastic thing. Before even trying it, she went out and bought an all metal peeler. However, after using her all metal one and the Rikon, she is sold on the Original Swiss Peeler. She went out and bought more for our kids.
While I have not tested it on hard cheese rinds, it works amazingly well on winter squash which seems to be the standard in our house for peeler testing.
