 OXO Rocks-O |

| I am consistently amazed at the high quality and low price of all the OXO kitchen products. Though I like heftier knives, this peeler is the best. The only caveat is that it takes a little getting used to the "direction of peel" - towards you, but once you do get used to it (a couple of carrots should suffice) you'll never go back to the classic at your mother's house. |
I love this peeler

| I have had numerous peelers and all of them would hurt my hand after peeling a few potatoes. Not anymore because I bought an OXO Good Grip. This is hands down the best peeler I've ever owned. I can now peel a whole bag of potatoes without pain in my hands. I would recommend this brand to anyone. |
I thank my lucky stars!

| Hi! I bought this set soon after I began having problems with my hands about four years ago. I thank my lucky stars that I did! I later discovered I had rheumatoid arthritis, so these kitchen tools have been a Godsend. The peeler especially has made it possible for me to be able to cook many things I had simply given up on previously. I had experienced so much pain before due to peelers which required too much force to use, partly due to dull blades and rigid blade formats. This peeler is so sharp, and is so clever with its freely swiveling motion, that it peels smoothly and swiftly; if anything, one almost has to pay attention not to remove too much when peeling because it *is* so effortless! The paring knife is splendid also. For me, with my arthritis, the handles on both tools are really beautifully designed, and enable me to cook even on some of my worst days. I always handwash my utensils and have never had any problems with rust, as some reviewers have mentioned, and both utensils have remained very sharp all these years. These were the first OXO tools I bought, and I was so enamored that I have since bought more. I would probably buy the whole OXO line if I were rich enough! I am pleased that somebody thought of people with arthritis --- and good design in general --- at long last. |
Beautiful design...absolutely functional.

| OXO has designed hand tools for those who have disabilities of the hand. Whether it is arthritis or some other ailment, if you can gently hold the tool, the tool will work for you. As a bonus, the Oxo line is stunning in its simplicity. The tools lay in your hand and you could probably use them in the dark. They had to be designed by engineers because they work and feel so good. These are the last peeler and parer you will ever need. Throw out the old flimsy peeler. These tools are dynamic, rugged, beautiful and functional. If you want to try them out, go to the kitchen store in the mall nearest you. You should be astounded by the stunning simplicity and functionality of these tools! You might want to wrap up a few in some beautiful ribbon for a holiday gift and give them to a relative or friend with arthritis. They will love you for it. Finally, the price is right. Highly, highly recommended. |

| The chef at the country club I worked at gave this to me in a huge box of a wide array of every kind of kitchen gadget you could imagine. I ended up using this set the most. Tragically this last year was the end of my knife...it broke off literally at the base of the blade. I was heartbroken because it was the best knife I ever owned. I used it on everything. I can't tell you how well this thing cut through potatoes and just about every vegetable known to earth. Plus, it could cut the fat off chicken, pork chops etc. It was great!! The potato peeler is the best as well, but I still have that in great shape! (and it stays sharp, trust me, as my poor middle finger found out again tonight....ahem.) Anyway, I looked every where for this knife. I never thought to check on here, until last night I came across it by accident. I can't tell you how excited I was that I found my knife. I had went and bought another in hopes it could at least last as a temp, but I was still longing for my old one. I am so happy that I found it again. I can't wait to get it and start using the one and only knife you should have. Buy them in droves and give some away only to a really good friend. Yippee. |

Durable and Well-Designed

| This is the best peeler/parer you can buy. The large, rubbery handle makes it easy to hold, without slipping. My OXO peeler/parer has lasted me for many years of almost daily use. |

| This set caught my eye. I don't have full dexterity of my right hand and peeling was a chore. This peeler helped with a the grip, but more important was a consistent, sharp, durable blade. It is also dishwasher safe. Yes, you can buy a peeler for much less, but spend the money for this set. The knife is a good knife, nothing to rave about. Get the set for the peeler. Its worth the premium. |

| This set is the best. I received it at my bridal shower 5 years ago, and both tools remain among my favorites today! This peeler is nearly effortless, and makes quick work of the task at hand. The paring knife is great for anything, as it is the size of a small utility knife. The comfort grip is also a blessing when preparing fruit and veggie trays for company! |
getting a handle on things

| Reviewer: Robert J. Zickus, Crete, IL United States |
| There's no doubt this is one of the greatest deals in cutlery to be found anywhere. The edges are sharp enough, and the handles are exceptionally well designed for hands of all sizes and shapes. The peeler is the best I've ever used, and I even purchased a second set because we were always scrambling to get to the OXO peeler first whenever there was a big peeling job to tackle. BUT...the handle separated from the paring knife blade in the first month of ownership. Sure, a little epoxy put things right again. But even at these prices a handle should never separate from the blade. Still, this is a five star deal just for the peeler alone. The paring knife is a throw-in...handle or otherwise. |
Used Daily for Two Years, this Set Is Still Great

| Reviewer: Claudia Summer, Puget Sound, USA |
| Indispensable to me. My hands are small and rather sensitive, so I find myself reaching for this little knife with its comfortable handle for everything, including meat, and it sharpens up very nicely. The peeler is excellent for almost everything, though occasionally I do use a smaller one for peeling very thin-skinned fruits. If these ever wear out, which seems unlikely, I'll buy another set. |
Excellent function and feel!

Basically we have folks in the house who suffer from arthritis
and fibromyalgia. These kitchen tools: parer and peeler work
better than hoped! Though they don't look all that impressive, they do function swiftly and comfortably. The slightly larger
than average grip works well on fingers often subject to pain
when pressure is applied. And the sharp ends do better than most
high-priced kitchen tools! We love it. We are here to buy more
and pass something 'great' on to friends and family that we
really like. The price is excellent, here. We paid far more
at a major brand competitot---more for each piece than the price
of the combined here. OXO tends to sell off shelves quickly. I
have no idea why we didn't think to look at Amazon.com. |
Great for Lefthanders

| I LOVE this peeler. I have told everyone I know to buy this peeler. It works wonderfully and it peels very quickly. I am lefthanded and have always had a terrible time peeling anything, even with the so-called "lefthanded" peelers. This one works great for either hand. The knife is great too and for the price you just can't beat it! |

| The Good Grip potato peeler that I have was given to me by my dad several years ago. Dad helps mom in the kitchen because of my mothers illness and he is always looking for kitchen gadgets that makes work a little easier for them. He bought a Good Grip peeler either through a magazine ar a store. He liked it so much he thought I ought to have one. I love my potato peeler and matching paring knife. I think these are the most comfortable kitchen tools that anyone could use. |
Another kicthen tool to get excited about

| Until you try these, you won't realize how poorly most kitchen implements are designed. I bought there not long after I bought my Oxo can opener, and I'm slowly buying all their tools. The peeler in particular is a wonder. Unlike most peelers, it doesn't cut into your palm or slip, and it seems to just glide over cucumbers. |
Great for People with Arthritis

| Reviewer: Michela, Seattle, WA, USA |
| When I am visiting friends and family members, I often bring along one of these OXO kitchen peeler/parer sets because I sometimes find that other people's paring knives and peelers are too dull. This knife blade is large enough to do most paring, chopping, and slicing tasks for an ordinary meal, and the peeler works well, too. I've found that people with arthritis are delighted to discover this excellent OXO set. |
Good for smaller hands

| Reviewer: Ann M. Towey, Omaha, NE United States |
| After getting the paring knife as a wedding present, I fell in love with oxo's handles. For mother's day last year, I purchased this set for my mother and my mother-in-law. Both have small hands and greatly appreciated their ease of use. |
comfortably functional

| Reviewer: A. Nidhindra, Richardson, TX United States |
| The handles on both the items make them very comfortable to use; but one does have to get used to them. Initially, they seem a little bulky in the hand, but after some time, that is what makes them so comfortable. The peeler, especially, is way better than the other (routine) peelers I've had and it has a niftly tip that works well on potato-eyes. I use them almost everyday, and both have stayed sharp and without problems in the few weeks I've had them. |
The OXO Good Grip Peeler is amazing!

| Reviewer: Dr. Al, Baltimore, MD USA |
| I'm a very finicky chef, but I have found that the OXO peeler (I haven't used the parer much), is unbelieveable. It reduces the time needed to peel anything (from an apple to a pear to a cucumber) to just seconds! Its so fast, like another user said, it just seems to glide over the fruit or vegetable. I am truly impressed. |
Eye Of The Spud
|
| Review Date: November 19, 2000 |
| Reviewer: , |
| You know how when you find a brand that consistently serves you well, you stick with it? That's how I feel about OXO International products. And this bargain priced set of paring knife and peeler is no exception. I especially am amazed by the peeler. The swivel action of the blades skims potato skins like fine silk, leaving you unwasted meat of the spud. And those pesky 'lil eyes? --poof, disappear with the nifty corer OXO provides. On carrots, this peeler is a dream. Perfect while making my favorite carrot cake or getting a veggie tray prepared. I've even tried it on firm tomatoes--absolutely perfect for stewing or canning. Good products from a good company. OXO's health concerns have won them awards from the Arthritic foundation. But you do not have to be hurting to enjoy these. In fact, they just feel good in your hands and work great. |
