A note from the manufacturer: Our Swiss Peelers have a carbon steel blade – these are not stainless steel. It is always recommended that these particular peelers be towel dried immediately after use and washing to avoid rust build-up. Cooks and chefs prefer the carbon steel blades over stainless due to the fact that they stay sharp for longer periods of time. You can clean the rust off the blade by taking a sponge that has an abrasive side to it. This will clean the rust but won't damage the blade. The blade is not defective – the care and use is just different from that of stainless steel.
Adult discretion and supervision are necessary when children are using items marked with this symbol; these items have (or contain) functional sharp points and/or sharp edges.

You may return any item, for any reason, and receive an exchange, replacement or refund.
I bought my 4 year old a few of her own kitchen tools and included this peeler. She uses my larger peeler often and struggles a little with it. I thought this would make it easier. The smaller size does help, but the plastic is cheap and the peeler is a bit rickety. Works fine, but doesn't help her all that much.
