This was a stocking stuffer.  My wife complained that she was unable to purchase a half way efficient potato peeler.  She bought a couple that looked like the real thing only to find that they were poor imitations of the peelers available 10 years ago.  She loves this peeler and claims it to be the best one she ever had.  It is very sharp and peels just about any vegetable.  Very comfortable to hold and easy to take care of.
