Apple Peeler

[RonJ]

I have in the neighborhood of 50 pocket knives all of which will peel an apple. None of them have done a really great job until now. I've found that a shorter blade works better than a long one. This little guy does an exemplary job. I eat any where from 5 to seven apples a week for an evening snack.

Thank you for helping to keep Pennsylvanian's working! I almost always have a Case trapper or toe nail in my pocket. When I don't have a Case, it is a Schatt&Morgan by Queen or a Great Eastern Cutlery.

I use Victorinox paring knives or a sandwich knife on fruit.

Fruit juices can get into the joints on pocket knives.

I also have more expensive paring knives by Henckels. But the Victorinox is a real value and works fine. I usually use a serrated one, but also have plain edged ones.

I have a crank Apple peeler it's old but it works.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to peel an apple. I eat all of it except the core. Baked potato? Same deal...peel & all. Seems like I've read that its good for you. No, I don't eat lemon, lime, orange, or banana peels.

But can it core a apple?

You can't beat a Case knife.

I have sinus drip and twice I've had bits of apple peel stick in my throat. Wheezing and coughing to get it up ain't no fun.
Baked taters is no problem.

That's a fact. Juice got into my Kershaw Leek and it wouldn't open with the assist button any more. I had to put the knife in scalding hot water and then lube the joints with Rem Oil to get it back to normal.

What's wrong with the core? Good roughage. The only thing I have left after eating an apple is the stem; it's kinda tough.

i use the whole apple plant the seeds, use stem 4 a tooth pick and eating the bottom part no problem reminds me of eating something bushy

Some believe the skins harbor pesticides that don't wash off easily. And who knows what germs may be on them?

What do you folks do by way of washing fruit?

I'm illogical about this, because I do eat plum skins, but not apple skins. And I just wash and eat grapes and berries.

I quit using my pocket knives to cut food and other messy stuff because it gets in the hinge and gums it up.

The only time I peel apples is for SWMBO when she is making apple pie or Apple crisp. Her hands don't work as well as they once did so if I want something with apples I get peeling duty. I use a paring knife and it takes forever because I always have to peel the apple in one long piece. Whenever I use a pocket knife for food prep I try not to think about it too much as I only clean the blades about once a year but honing oil does add a certain tang.

Beautiful knife! Can't beat Case quality. I bought a Amber bone Case (#79) medium stockman last week to carry, and it's just too nice to get scuffed up - plus it isn't too comfortable in my pocket, due to the pointed edges on both the bolsters.

If you are eating apples at home, there is no reason not to use a proper vegetable slicer instead of improvising with a pocket knife. Or you could use an actual apple peeler machine.

I find peeling an apple therapeutic. Reminds me of when I was little and me and my grandpa would sit on the front porch peeling an apple after supper. Like some one said above, it's fun to try to get the peel off in one peace.

Jeez, I didn't realize I was gonna have to defend peeling an apple.
