The elegant, graceful and stylish walnut wood handle from Kentucky, USA reminds us of the origin of microplane kitchen graters, which come from the wood workshop into the kitchen. The combination of the handle, a robust stainless steel frame and the razor-sharp, photo-etched stainless steel blades - made in the USA - ensures optimum grating results at all times and is the new status quo among graters. The 2-way cutting edge produces a fine, elongated friction result. Grate soft and hard cheese, apples, potatoes, zucchini, carrots, chocolate, and much more, just as you like. Due to the sharpness of the grater, the food is cut precisely and not torn. A distinct aroma and intense taste are produced.
