Yes it is a sharpener, measuring 5.8cm wide by 7.5cm long by 4cm broad, and, no, it is not for your pencil. This giant sharpener is a stylish vegetable peeler that makes peeling vegetables not only easier but enjoyable. It is great for carrots, artichokes, cucumbers, zucchini courgettes among other similar-shaped vegetables.
Apart from its ease of use, one can use it to curl ribbons of your chosen vegetable into different shapes to decorate salads and dishes, achieving professional chef results in the process. Attached to one side is a normal peeler for cases where you cannot use the sharpener, for instance when peeling fruits such as apples.
The plastic shell is hard enough and the blades are stainless steel to prevent rust. The sharpener costs Sh700 and is available on Amazon.com. — Rose Kwamboka
