Like the Rex this Swiss patented peeler is moved up and down parallel to the vegetable. It works on the principle of a of the ‘traverse’ or ‘deflecting’ metal surface that ‘lifts’ the skin off the vegetable.

The following pendulum peelers differ mainly ergonomically: you guide the Famos peeler at right angles to the peeling direction, whereas the patent peeler from Switzerland is pulled parallel to it, just like the Rex, which also comes from Switzerland. The special feature of the patent peeler is that it still lifts the vegetable peels from the peeled product while peeling. For nimble and short work, especially on larger vegetables, we prefer the Rex because it is sharper and has a wider cutting edge. Are you condemned to peel a bag of potatoes, we advise the Famos: With him can be worked from the wrist, which creates less pain in the long run.
