What you are getting

Two original Westmark Famos peelers, reference 106122E4, each with a blade guard. The blade is stainless steel on a pendulum mounting, the handle and frame are chrome-plated steel, and each peeler is 15.7 cm long. They are made in Germany, designed for right-handed users and are hand-wash only.

The pendulum

The blade is not fixed: it swings on its mounting and stays against the surface. On a smooth carrot that changes little; on a knobbly potato or an apple it is the difference between peeling and carving. Westmark also says the peel comes away cleanly without clogging the blade, which is where cheap fixed-blade peelers tend to jam.

A blade you can change

The stainless blade is screwed on, and Westmark states that replacement blades are available. That is unusual on this shelf, where a dull peeler is simply thrown away. The sharpened tip at the end of the frame cuts out eyes and bruises.

Right-handed, hand-wash

Two limits are written into the listing. The peeler is meant for right-handed users, and it does not go in the dishwasher: the chrome-plated frame wants a rinse and a dry.

The American price

On Amazon.com this set is only offered by third-party sellers, at about $70 when this page was checked, while the same listing sells for about €10 to €12 in Germany, France, Spain and Italy. At $70 we would not buy it: the swivel and Y peelers on this shelf from OXO, KitchenAid, Farberware or Spring Chef sell for $10 to $18.

Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on November 8, 2026; both move.

The questions that come in

What does a pendulum blade do?

It pivots on its mounting so it stays in contact with an uneven surface. On a knobbly potato that means it takes skin rather than flesh, which is where the German name "Sparschäler", economy peeler, comes from.

Can the blade be replaced?

Yes. The listing states that the stainless blade is screwed on, can be easily replaced, and that replacement blades are available. A dull blade is a part to change, not a reason to throw the peeler away.

Is it worth $70?

Not at that price. On Amazon.com the set is only offered by third-party sellers at about $70, where the same listing sells for about €10 to €12 in Europe. The swivel peelers on this shelf from OXO, KitchenAid or Farberware sell for $10 to $18.

Does it work for left-handed cooks?

The listing says it is suitable for right-handed users. The edge is sharpened for a right-handed stroke, so a left-handed cook is better served by an ambidextrous Y peeler or a peeler with twin blades.
