Shigeru Kogyo is a Made-in-Japan brand from Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, with a track record of over 45 years of manufacturing peeler blades. With carefully considered design features throughout, this peeler is crafted with the entire peeling process in mind, from its exceptional sharpness to the ease of post-peeling cleanup. This stylish and meticulously crafted peeler has been featured on TV. I received it about a year ago and have been storing it. I am decluttering as I am renovating my kitchen. Please use it for your year-end cooking. Price reductions are not possible.
