Opinel - Microserrated Peeler – Premium 7.62cm Stainless Steel French Beechwood Tough-Skin & Soft-Produce Prep Tool

The Opinel Microserrated Peeler is an indispensable, high-efficiency kitchen instrument masterfully engineered to simplify the preparation of challenging fruits and vegetables. Rooted in traditional French design innovation, this nimble tool features a specialized 7.62 cm European stainless steel blade outfitted with ultra-fine microserrations.

Anchored by a classic, ergonomically turned handle crafted from sustainably sourced French beechwood, this elegant peeler perfectly blends a century of iconic European craftsmanship with everyday culinary practicality.

**Pro Tip & Microserrated Peeler Maintenance:** To preserve the pristine edge of the microserrated blade and protect the beautiful natural grain of the beechwood handle, this peeler must always be washed by hand. Never place this wooden tool inside an automatic dishwasher or leave it soaking in a wet sink basin, as high heat, harsh detergents, and prolonged water exposure will swell the natural wood, degrade the handle finish, and dull the fine serrations. Simply rinse the blade under warm running water immediately after use with a soft sponge to remove residual vegetable starches, and wipe completely dry with a cloth towel before storage to ensure a lifetime of flawless performance!
