Introducing Suwada Kurikuri Bozu Chestnut Peeler: The Japanese Craftsmanship Solution to Chestnut Peeling. Say goodbye to the tedious and often dangerous task of peeling chestnuts with a knife. The Suwada Kurikuri Bozu Chestnut Peeler is an innovative, high-quality tool from Japan that makes peeling chestnuts—both the tough outer shell and the bitter inner skin—as simple and safe as peeling an apple. 

Crafted by Suwada Blacksmith Works, Inc., a company with over 90 years of experience in manufacturing premium cutting tools in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, the Kurikuri Bozu embodies the precision and artistry of Japanese craftsmanship. 

Product features

• Innovative Dual-Blade Design: The peeler is designed like a pair of specialized scissors. It features two blades: a unique serrated blade that firmly grips the chestnut and a separate razor-sharp blade that effortlessly cuts and peels away the skin. This original Suwada innovation allows you to remove the outer husk and the astringent inner skin (pellicle) simultaneously. 
  
• Effortless Peeling: This tool is designed to make quick work of peeling both raw and steamed chestnuts, significantly reducing prep time and effort. Skin 
  
• Retention Capability: With a little practice, you can skillfully use the peeler to remove only the hard outer shell, allowing you to retain the astringent inner skin if you wish to prepare traditional recipes like Shibukawa-ni (chestnuts boiled with the inner skin). 
  
• High-Quality Materials: The cutting blades are typically made of carbon steel for superior, long-lasting sharpness and cutting performance, reflecting the company's long history of making fine cutting instruments. 
  
• Comfortable, Non-Slip Grip: The handles are equipped with a non-slip material (like elastomer resin) to ensure a secure, comfortable grip, making it an excellent choice for users with reduced grip strength, dry hands, or the elderly.
  
• Ambidextrous and Replaceable Blades: The clever design allows the blades to be swapped between the left and right sides, making the peeler completely comfortable for both right-handed and left-handed users. Furthermore, the blade is replaceable with a simple screwdriver when it eventually dulls, ensuring the tool's durability and longevity. 
  
• Safety and Storage: The peeler typically includes a protective cap or sheath for safe storage. 

The Suwada Kurikuri Bozu isn't just a kitchen gadget; it's a testament to fine Japanese engineering, bringing generations of blacksmithing expertise to your kitchen for an essential, yet often difficult, task. It's an indispensable tool for any serious cook who enjoys working with fresh chestnuts.
