Victorinox Swiss Classic Dual Edge Vegetable Peeler, Serrated Swivel Blade

The Victorinox Swiss Classic dual edge peeler has a micro-serrated swivel blade that grips the surface of produce instead of sliding off it. That makes it a good peeler for slippery tomato skins, waxy peppers and fuzzy peaches and kiwis, and it handles carrots and sweet potatoes as well.

Both edges of the blade cut, so it peels on the forward and the return stroke, and the swivel follows the curve of the food. It works for right- and left-handed cooks.

Hold the produce firmly and use long, light strokes. To peel a tomato without blanching it, work from the stem end down with very light pressure and let the serrations catch the skin.

For a straight-bladed peeler, see the Victorinox Rho 6-inch Vegetable Peeler. A Swiss Classic paring knife handles fine trimming the peeler cannot reach. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide covers the paring knives that work beside it.
