They have 3 different peelers (4 if you count the left and right handed versions separately, 5 if you count the julienne peeler.
We have the swivel peeler which comes in left and right handed versions.
And on that note, think about how you peel. I tend to do long things like carrots and cucumbers in long strips away from myself, which is the opposite direction from what the right handed peeler can cut.
Round things like apples or potatoes though, I generally peel towards myself like a paring cut, which is what the right handed peeler is designed for.
If you’re splurging on a peeler for yourself, you could do like we did and just get both to cover all bases. Otherwise it may be worth taking an extra moment to consider the person you’re gifting it to’s handedness and what they’re likely to be peeling with it.
The stabby looking one should, I think, be ambidextrous. I haven’t used that one, I suspect it’s probably a cut above the cheap peeler you may have in your drawer now, but I can’t actually vouch for it. It also doesn’t look like the blade is replaceable on that one so I’d be less inclined to splurge on something that’s ultimately going to be disposable once it gets dull unless you want to get really fiddly trying to sharpen it. That said I think it’s probably going to be made of better steel than most regular peelers and will probably last a good long time before getting dull.
Or get the crosswise peeler which also has the replaceable blade. Can’t quite vouch for that one myself either, but we do have the julienne peeler which seems to be essentially the same but with a (non-replaceable) julienne blade, and I’ve been quite happy with that as well (though I do feel that it could have been designed to use the replaceable blades) the crosswise basically seems to be the julienne peeler but with the replaceable swivel peeler blades, so I’m pretty confident that it’s also a solid piece of kit, just not my preferred style of peeler.
Final note, the plain cylindrical steel handles may not be everyone’s aesthetic or ideal ergonomics. I like it just fine or even prefer it, but that’s just me.
