With three super sharp, surgical stainless steel blades in one peeler, the Trio three-blade peeler switches easily between blades with a twist and a click. The hard blade is used for potatoes, carrots, zucchini and cucumbers. The soft blade is perfect for peaches, tomatoes, and other soft-skinned fruit. The julienne blade creates thin strips for salads and decorative platters. Blades retract safely into storage in the soft-grip handle when not in use.
