Yes it is good. The handle is easy to hold. The cutting is also good. OXO makes products for easy hold and use. Enjoy

Hi Inara, I purchased this peeler along with the OXO can opener and OXO bottle opener. I love all of these products. I am left Handed and have no trouble using all of these products as I also Have arthritis in my hands. I hope this answer resolves your question.

I received mine a a gift from the maker of my arthritis Rx - the handle is easy to grip. You don't need to hold on tightly to maintain control.

I too have RA and the grip and the ease of peeling is perfect for this painful condition. I can't say enough positive things about this peeler. I first tried it at my daughter-in-law's home when I had to peel an apple for my grandson, and after using hers, I immediately came home, serarched for it on Amazon, and purchased it.

I have this peeler and I can peel potatoes and carrots without killing my hands. I have arthritis in my wrists And have difficulty doing so many kitchen tasks. I hope this information helps you. I always read references before buying a product so hope this information helps you.

Any sharpener will work. I dont get caught up in trying to get them so sharp that you can shave with a knife. Just add a light drop of oil on each side and spread it with you finger. Any gun or household oil will work. I use Ballistol because its what I haveon hand here but any oil will work.

Hi Kullen,I have not actually needed a sharpener yet; however, I find the best sharpener for maintain this type of blade is a diamond or ceramic sharpening rod. Hope this helps. Thanks :-)

That'll work just fine. It doesn't hold an edge very well, so constant sharpening will be needed. Any one of those handheld sharpeners with that sharpening V will be quickest and easiest way to go.

Can't help you. Don't use serrated knives. Can tell you the Trizor made all my other knives dangerously sharp!

Absolutely! Serated knives are my favorite as they are more versatile. I honestly didn't think you could sharpen a serated edge until I gave it a try with my Perfect Edge sharpener, it worked! I would definitely recommend this sharpener for serated edges, you will be glad you did!

We also have a good collection of surgical stainless steel knives & want to caution you when using this sharpener. GO SLOW when sharpening! as you can ruin the knife blade angle if in hurry & don't let your teenager help you without training.

I like the knife my friend has the same brand but not as good a model his works very well but gets. Hotter with prolonged use I have used mine for 4 hours straight without stopping his he needs to let rest every so often . I also like the blades that came with mine it easy to do small fish with the blades that are 1/2 the thickness but they can be bought separate . I have bought and and still have a Berkley knife and a tatertwister knife they was a a waist of money in my opinion . I hope this helps you make your mind .

I used one for years before replacing it, for $10. seems worthwhile. If you really want to though, then the same way you'd sharpen most knives/scissors. or with a wet rock. go nuts.

I try to rinse and sort of dry all my "nice" knives as soon as I'm finished using them. Later I'll HAND wash, rinse, and dry them. I'm working my way up to buying a carbon steel laminated Japanese knife (not stainless) and I believe this is the way to treat them if you want any satisfaction at all with these knives which can be super sharpened. Just practicing, but I think all $100+ knives are worth this extra effort.

the best way is to go to a reliable knife sharpener person. If none are available in your area, there is a hand held sharpener you can use. It has two little crock stick areas that you use depending on the knife. Check out the Lansky PS Med 01 blade medic or the Zwilling J A Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. Stay away from electric ones as they are hard on the blades.

I love mine, but had the same problem...I had an old SPYDERCO shapner, a base with two "V" shaped rods coming out of it and it works perfecly. Razor sharp when I'm done...this comes in a pouch and doesn't take up enough room in my pack to worry about. This sharpens anything, even fish hooks. I believe you can still buy these. If not, get a flat whet stone. That's the best help I can give you. R / Mack

Say, just a suggestion. (I haven't purchased this, but was reading through the questions while considering.) Try looking on YouTube or searching on web. There's usually plenty of "How To" pages. (Of course, check before you purchase, as the instructions you prefer may not include the sharpener you're looking at.) I found this with a quick "How do you use a carbide sharpening tool to sharpen gardening tools?" It doesn't include this specific product, but it has some guidance. http://hort.uwex.edu/articles/maintaining-lawn-and-garden-tools/

In my opinion the Ridge Runner is a better product. I like to have an edge that will last. I can sharpen now if needed and not wear myself out in the process.
