Victorinox launches popular REX peeler and family

Food preparation is fast and efficient with the Victorinox peeler family consisting of popular members REX, STAR and RAPID. The versatile peelers with a straight, serrated or julienne blade offer endless possibilities for creative amateur and professional chefs alike.

In 2021 Victorinox acquired Zena Swiss AG and its well-known REX peeler to further strengthen its growing key category of kitchen knives. The minimalistic design and ergonomic form of this Swiss classic has been a success story from the beginning in 1947.

MEET THE FAMILY
The REX peeler enables easy peeling of all types of fruits and vegetables and is also suited for cutting chocolate and cheese. Its handle is made of aluminum and the blade of high-quality stainless steel. Its brother, the STAR peeler is similar to the REX peeler, however its handle is completely made of stainless steel. And the final sibling in the family, the RAPID, has been endowed with a new and robust finish. The handle and lateral potato eye remover are made of an extremely sturdy ABS plastic available in two colors – black and white. The ergonomic shape as well as the blade quality are similar to those of the STAR and the REX and, in addition, the RAPID is dishwasher-safe. All peelers are lightweight and are perfect for both right and left-handed users.

Beside the different materials used for the handles, the family members can also be told apart with their types of blade. While the classic REX is available with an extra-sharp straight blade only, the STAR is available with a straight-double edge blade, a serrated or a julienne blade. The RAPID comes with a straight, a serrated or a julienne blade. Furthermore, all peelers promote healthy cooking since they peel very thinly to preserve vitamins located closely under the skin of fruits and vegetables. All members of the versatile peeler family are perfect partners for amateur and professional chefs alike who like to work fast and efficiently.

​​​​​​​ The Victorinox peelers are available in specialty shops, Victorinox stores and online. Victorinox prides itself on more than 130 years of experience in the manufacturing of high-quality knives. The brand offers a lifetime guarantee against any defects in material and workmanship.
