In detail
A peeler is a knife with a fixed depth stop, and it lives or dies on the same thing a knife does: the steel. This one uses Japanese stainless at 58 HRC, hard enough to stay biting through a winter of root vegetables rather than starting to slide after a month.
Paired with a 90 mm paring knife in the same steel and the same handle, because those two tools are used within a minute of each other more often than any other pair in a kitchen. Full tang on the paring knife, riveted handle, 0.9 mm blade stock. Hand wash and dry both.
What it is not: a substitute for the piece next to it in this course. We list what each thing does and where it stops, because a catalogue that only records strengths is one you cannot use to choose between two things.
Why this one. Prep tools are bought once and then used every single day, which inverts the usual value calculation — the difference between the adequate version and the good one is paid back inside a year and then keeps paying. We stocked the version whose failure mode we could name, and we have named it above.
