BEWARE! an BE CAREFUL! Along with the best peeler out there comes a danger. Because the thing IS sharp as a razor I have cut my finger tips 3 times when peeling potatoes. You have to hold the potato tightly with the other hand and it's very hard to keep your fingers out of the way. A clean cut wouldn't be so bad but this takes a little chuck of flesh out of your finger tip if you nick it. I would go so far as to say don't use it for potatoes!
