What customers say
Users overwhelmingly praise the Kyocera Y-Peeler for its exceptional sharpness and ease of use.

Reviewers also appreciate the lightweight build and comfortable grip, which minimizes hand strain during peeling tasks. While the ceramic material requires careful handling to prevent chipping if dropped, customers find its superior performance and rust proof quality make it a highly recommended, transformative kitchen tool that justifies its value.
Know before you buy
The ceramic blade is made from proprietary Japanese zirconia, which allows it to stay sharp up to ten times longer than standard steel blades. It is also completely rust-proof and acid-resistant, meaning it won't brown or transfer metallic tastes to your produce.
Yes, the peeler is designed with an ergonomic handle and weighs only 34 grams. Its lightweight construction helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive peeling tasks.
Yes, the Kyocera Y-Peeler is dishwasher safe. However, because the ceramic blade is very sharp, we recommend placing it in the top rack away from other utensils to prevent potential chipping.
The integrated eye corers are located on the sides of the peeler head. They are designed to easily dig out 'eyes' from potatoes or remove small blemishes and imperfections from fruits and vegetables without needing a separate paring knife.
No, this model does not include a blade guard. Since the ceramic blade is exceptionally sharp, please store it carefully in a drawer or utensil holder where it won't be knocked against other hard tools.
