Within a dedicated small-tools drawer in the kitchen are two vegetable peelers and a knife. Two of the OXO Good Grips Swivel Peelers and a 6" Wüsthof chefs knife. Everything needed to clean a carrot. One of the peelers is dull and the other newer but since they look identical, even after six and twelve years, you cannot tell them apart use. It's always 50/50, although I seem to notice the dull one more often. Today, in a stroke of genius, I tried using the dull one left-handed. It works like it is brand new. Who would have known! | ||

You can sharpen them. Just saying. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

Or throw the dull one away. Theses aren't high dollar items and don't last forever. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Looking at the sharpened surface, I'm adding another file to the folder. The peeler can indeed be sharpened. At ten bucks each, I'm gonna try. As soon as the left side fails. It'll make a nice retirement project.  | |||

One of my drawers in the garage tool chest is full of screwdrivers. If I need a standard one, the first five or six I pull out are are phillips head and vice versa. It's an acquired skill. | |||

^^Stop putting all your screw drivers in the same drawer. Flat heads in the drawer with the SAE wrenchs, Phillips head in the metric wrench drawer, Reed & Prince in with the SAE sockets and Pozi in with the metric sockets. | |||

Works OK til you get the 5' wide box with the single full width drawer to house all your sockets, ratchets and extensions. A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||

If you peel from the bottom, you don't have to do it left handed. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||
