Potato peelers, can i still this type ,

[Dave7]

Ive had this one for many years. Its easy to hold and works well.
Ive tried various other types and imo they are not as good.

Edit.
I have just found a Tefal one that looks the same......not cheap but worth it to me.

I have one I bought off Amazon a couple of years ago, although the other one that I still use is 40-50 years old.

Mine is at least 35 years old.
I'm wondering if it can be sharpened as that's the only thing wrong with it.

The reason I don't use the new one is that it's too sharp, I'd sever the tips of my fingers with it. The old one is still plenty sharp enough to peel the veg, but worn enough to prevent accidents turning into a drama. There were two peelers in the drawer when my father died 38 years ago, I've worn out one of them and the other's still going. I don't recall when I switched, or how old they already were in 1988.
