Title: High quality... worth the price.
Review: Mine came with a plastic cover to preserve the cutting edge.I use it every day and it gets thrown in the dishwasher every day; I've had it about a year.I threw away my old Kitchenaid plastic-handled piece of junk, and even a hand-me-down Pampered Chef, and this works better than my parents' 8-16 piece apple cutter. This one is very nicely made. I didn't realize there could be such a huge difference in designs of such a simple object!THIS IS A WINNER. I'm looking for other Rosle products.
