I hated this peeler because it was SO dang sharp.  I couldn't use it without injuring myself - and once, it slipped from my hand, fell on my thigh and pronged me!  I didn't have the tiny plastic cover for it, so putting it in my utilities drawer was a mistake because I often got my fingers poked. I had to just set it aside by itself inside it's own plastic bag.  I finally just tossed it because never before has a kitchen utensil made me so frustrated.
