Victorinox Rho Straight Peeler Black – 6.0950.3
The Victorinox Rho Peeler brings a fresh, ergonomic shape to one of the kitchen's most repeated tasks. Its razor-sharp straight stainless-steel blade removes smooth, controlled strips from firm-skinned fruit and vegetables, while the angled black handle keeps the wrist in a more relaxed working position.
At only 21g, it feels exceptionally light, yet the broad handle gives your fingers a confident place to settle. The distinctive 45-degree geometry helps reduce wrist fatigue during longer preparation sessions—useful when peeling potatoes for a family meal or preparing produce in a busy professional kitchen.

Comfort that becomes noticeable over time
A conventional peeler can force the wrist into a repetitive angle. The Rho's shaped handle changes that relationship, giving you a lighter, more natural-feeling stroke. The straight edge is particularly useful on potatoes, carrots, apples, butternut and other firm produce.
Care instructions
Rinse promptly after use or place in the dishwasher. Handle carefully because the blade is extremely sharp, and store where the cutting edge cannot catch fingers reaching into a drawer.
