The Westmark asparagus peeler is from the high-quality "Monopol Edition." It is specially designed for peeling asparagus and its sharpened blade easily and quickly cuts off the ends of the asparagus. The movable blade adapts to the contours of the asparagus, and the tongs-like construction ensures that the delicate asparagus stalk does not break while peeling. The peeler and blade are made of high-quality, stainless steel.
