This review is from: Rada Cutlery Regular Vegetable Peeler, Dishwasher Safe Black Handle, Made in USA (Pack of 2 - W232/2)
I wasted lots of money on peelers from the local stores, including Oxo and Zylis, and none were as good as these. I think there may be better peelers out there in the world (hence 4 stars), but I've never used one.

This review is from: Rada Cutlery Regular Vegetable Peeler, Made in USA, Aluminum Handle (Pack of 2 - R132/2)
This is the very best vegetable peeler I've ever used, in four decades of cooking. It was given to me as a gift 10 years ago from a friend in the food-service industry, and it is still as sharp and effective as when it was new (I DON'T wash it in the dishwasher.) In fact, I so fell in love with this peeler, that when I replaced my old knives two years ago, I replaced them with Rada steak and preparation knives. They keep an edge like no other (JA Henckels doesn't compare), and when they do get dull, they sharpen up with just a few quick strokes. And they're WAY less expensive than their better-known competitors. And they're made in the USA.
I bought these to give as gifts after some friends came to my house to help with a large-quantity cooking event for our church, and was shocked at how easy to use, how well-balanced, and how SHARP this peeler is.

My opinion, because I personally prefer the larger Deluxe size and I use a dishwasher: Three stars for the regular size aluminum version; down one for aluminum handle and one for regular size. Four stars for black handle, regular size. I rate the black handled Deluxe version as five stars. In spite of variable star rating, for various Rada peelers, the unobstructed high quality blade is superb. Read on.
The Amazon descriptions for the great (see other reviews) Rada vegetable peelers sometimes lack key information which, from the radacutlery dot com site, products page, is as follows. Pay attention to the model numbers; assume a smaller size if model number is not listed.
There are TWO peelers:
The Vegetable Peeler (Item #: R132 / W232) is blade 1 3/4", overall 7 1/4".
The Deluxe Vegetable Peeler (Item #: R141 / W241) is blade 2", overall 8 3/8". Note longer blade & handle.
There are TWO handles, one aluminum and one black dishwasher safe. This...Read more
