Title: Terrible blade, Nice handle
Review: I am so disappointed in these. The handle is awesome, and I was excited to have a comfy grip when I peel carrots, potatoes, squash, etc.Total failure. Just plain doesn't work. I first tried a butternut squash and thought maybe it was just a super tough skin. Nope, my 99 cent peeler worked great. The blade extension for gauging potato blemishes gets in the way on large flat sections of the squash as well.So I tried fresh carrots with the OXO. Nada, the blade dug in at an awkward angle.I've talked to a couple chefs and a culinary school teacher, and they all agreed - "Stay away." They just don't use them.I recently talked to my bartender too, and he said in 15 years he has never seen one in a professional kitchen.Now the OXO sits, rusting, in my junk draw with spare potato masher and bad chopstick collection."Form follows function". OXO designed a great handle, but forgot the the function of the tool.
