The all-metal Kuhn Rikon Swiss peeler is a direct response to the one limitation of the classic Kuhn Rikon carbon peeler: the carbon blade cannot sit in a sanitizer bucket without rusting. This stainless version solves that problem entirely. The blade can go in the bucket between uses, come out, get dried, and go right back to work - ideal for prep cooks who run continuous vegetable prep in commercial environments.
The blade is interchangeable with the plastic-handled carbon model, so cooks who already love the ergonomics of the original can swap this stainless blade into their existing handle. The built-in potato eye remover is the same design found on the classic version. The ultra-sharp swivel blade peels in wafer-thin layers with minimal waste. Ergonomic and ambidextrous.
What Customers Are Saying: All three reviewers are enthusiastic. One switched specifically because the carbon blades rusted in the sanitizer bucket and calls this a great solution - all stainless, sinks in the bucket, just pull it out and dry it when prep is done. He finds the handle slightly less comfortable than the original plastic model but not enough to reduce his recommendation. A second confirmed the blade fits in the original plastic body and reports it feels very sharp with a slightly shallower angle of attack than the carbon version. The third calls it simply a great peeler that performs well above its price point.
Care Instructions: The stainless blade is safe in a sanitizer bucket. Hand wash or dishwasher safe. Dry after washing. Handle with care - the blade is very sharp.

Perhaps THE peeler!, November 5, 2025Posted By: Brendan

After looking at the prior comments I had to wonder, does this blade fit in the original peeler? I'm happy to report that you can indeed swap this blade into the plastic body we all love. I have to use this blade for a bit longer to verify if it lasts longer than the carbon blades. But it does feel very sharp and I think the angle of attack is a bit shallower than the carbon blades. Enjoy the stainless ease!

Great peelerPosted By: Ryan - verified customer

I got tired of the plastic/carbon steel peelers rusting. The plastic peeler may be a touch more comfortable, but the sharpness and ease of case with this peeler is great. The blades appear to be the same size so I may try to swap the stainless blade into the plastic handle.

Excellent peeler, one caveat.Posted By: Doug

I have long been a fan of the cheap plastic Kuhn Rikon peelers, they are the best, most comfortable to use, and have the best eye puller in the game. Using a y peeler is a necessity in a kitchen with any volume, less fatigue, and its easier to cut shallow on your veg. There is one problem with them. The blades are blued or coated steel, not stainless, so leaving them in the sanitizer bucket is a death knell.
So I picked this guy up from CKTG, and it is excellent. All stainless, and it sinks in the sanitizer bucket. Toss it in between uses, pull it out and dry it off when prep is done.
The only caveat. I wish it had the same handle and eye puller as the original plastic model. That's not enough to knock a star off of a great tool, though. If you do a lot of veg prep at work, or just want a peeler that will last the rest of your life at home, this is the ticket. Price is totally reasonable, especially when compared to some of the fancy department store brands.
