The difference between this pairing and our chef-knife version sits in both halves. The peeler here runs a rotating serrated head in 304 stainless on a zinc alloy body, with the blade built to 1 mm, double the thickness of an ordinary peeler blade. The knife is the santoku: 53 millimeters tall, forged EN1.4116, ground to 14-16 degrees. A serrated head for slippery skins, a tall flat blade for the chopping.

Anatomy of the tool

Pairing

A rotating head and a flat santoku face

The peeler swivels to follow a curve; the santoku does not move at all through the cut. One shape is right for a mango, the other for turning that mango into even slices on the board. Neither one does the other job well.

Blade

One millimeter instead of the usual half

The peeler blade is twice as thick as a conventional one and reinforced where it meets the body, so it resists the flex that makes a thin peeler skate over skin. The 304 stainless keeps the serrations from pitting.

Edge

A 14-16 degree grind beside a 1 mm head

The knife half is ground far finer than the peeler, and that is deliberate. The peeler absorbs the abuse of skin and grit; the santoku keeps a polished edge for protein and produce that has already been cleaned up.

Care

Zinc body, 304 blade, nothing to rust

The peeler is built from materials that shrug off a wet sink, and the eye remover set into the head digs out potato blemishes without a second tool. Dry the santoku by hand rather than leaving it to drip on the rack.

From the sharpening bench

Turn the produce, not the peeler. The rotating head is there so the blade can stay in contact while a mango or a tomato spins under it, which is where the serrations earn their keep.
