Oxo Good Grips Y peeler

An OXO Y peeler from the Good Grips range. Named for its shape, the vegetable peeler has a stainless steel blade set within a large cushioned handle with flexible 'fins' incorporated on either side for finger grip. Sam Farber founded OXO in 1990 after observing his wife experiencing difficulties in holding a vegetable peeler, due to arthritis. He developed the Good Grips range of utensils with an external design agency, all featuring handles that were easy to control regardless of the size/shape of the hand or strength of grip. A material called Santoprene (a thermoplastic rubber - TPR) was selected because it is robust, durable, soft-to-touch, non-slip (even when wet) and easy to blend with other materials.
