You think and work like me. For me it is exactly that, the thumb gives a degree of control and it is just not possible to do that with A. Although the peeler pictured at A does have that loop thing on the side to remove eyes, but again there does not seem to be a sensible way to hold it to do that.jaap wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 3:53 pmFor carrots or cucumbers, I don't care which type.
For potatoes I can't use A, cause I just don't have fine control with that. With B/C/D I can use the thumb of the hand with the peeler to push the potato past the blade. That just doesn't work with A, and it just feels risky without that kind of control. Also A does not have a pointy tip with which to gouge out the potato's eyes.
My wife has just found the peeler she actually favours, which I cannot use, because the handle design gets in the way of using my thumb.
