peeling knife

Handles are made from materials like ABS, POM, resin, and polypropylene. Many models also feature soft‑grip or non‑slip handles to improve comfort and control.

Paring knives are typically used for peeling and trimming, slicing small fruits and vegetables, and making decorative garnishes.

Y‑shaped peelers have a Y‑frame and often a soft‑grip handle for ergonomic control. Swivel peelers use a pivoting blade that hugs curved surfaces and frequently include a built‑in blemish remover.

Blade lengths range from about 2.75 inches up to 4 inches, with several paring knives commonly listed around 3.5 inches.

Ergonomic features include soft‑grip or easy‑grip handles, swivel blades that follow curves for easier peeling, curved bolsters to support a pinch grip, and non‑slip or triple‑riveted handle designs for secure control.
