A Potato Peeler
The guard is made of a piece of wire about 1 in. shorter than the blade of an ordinary table knife. The ends of the wire are turned into a coil to resemble a coil spring with coils close together. Allow enough wire to project on one end to be flattened and pointed for an eye extractor.
Guard Made of Wire
When this device is placed on the knife, the contrivance works on the same principle as a spokeshave. The first setting peels the potato without any appreciable waste, the other setting may be as desired for cutting slices.—Contributed by H. W. Ravens, Seattle, Washington.
