Sugarcane & Pineapple Peeling Knife - Sugar Cane Peeler - High Carbon Steel - Non-slip Wooden Handle

Sharp and heavy duty for the purposes. Rust easy as any carbon steel knife as expect, need well oil after usage

Each fall I carve a lot of pumpkins in a 3d sculptural style, and the first step is usually peeling off the skin. Larger pumpkins are harder to peel because their outer curvature is too flat for most vegetable peelers (Y-shaped handles with a blade) - they either can't grab at all, or at best they leave unwanted marks ("tracks" from the top of the Y) in the pumpkin. With this peeler I was able to whittle the skin off a 400 pound pumpkin without much difficulty. Of course the ease of peeling depends on many factors, but this blade works better than anything I've used. I'd recommend using gloves, particularly since it's helpful to use two hands, one on the handle and one at the tip of the blade (see photo). For next season I may add another handle for better leverage and safety (there's a bolt that can be removed to facilitate that). Keep it clean and dry to avoid rust (read up on care of carbon steel), and there's a stainless steel version that might be worth a look. A great product!

The knife is sharp. Easy to use.

Blades were rusted, poor quality of steel for the blade. Should be stainless steel

Had to return due to cracked handle. Was not from shipping. The blades are very sharp and it seemed configured to skin sugar cane effectively. It was my first time. It appeared you could detach the two pieces to sharpen the inner blade. Handle is a good fit to the hand. It arrived in a plastic sleeve with some oil covering the steel. Had no finish on the wood handle. Shown next to a soup spoon for scale. If better QC I would have given it four stars.

Used it to peel pumpkins to make jam. Worked so much better than struggling with a knife. I would recommend wearing gloves to protect your hands from slipping.

Yes it’s sharp but the rust is overwhelming. I missed my window of opportunity for returning

Nice little tool!

It's good for very small quanties of cane stick.Heavy hand force is required to do the job.But it will do.
