Herb Stripper 9 holes, Luxiv Stainless Steel Kitchen Herb Stripping Tool Loose Leaf Kale Razor Metal Leaf Pealer for Kale, Chard, Collard Greens, Thyme, Basil, Rosemary

Heavy duty and although I haven't used it for what it is supposed to be used for yet, it's made very well and has some good weight to it

Let's face it--most people can live without an herb knife for the simple reason that most people don't use a lot of fresh herbs in their cooking. You don't need a knife to open a jar of dried herbs. But for those who are able to use fresh herbs, this is a handy little gadget to have--an ergonomically designed herb chopper and stripper. It's basically just a stamped piece of steel with that fits in your palm with one straight, sharp edge; that's for chopping/mincing herbs. It's pretty sharp right out of the box/bag. Could you make it sharper? Sure. Do you need to? Not really. The blade comes with a plastic cover to protect the edge (and you!) when you aren't using it. I've seen a couple of reviews that complain that it is hard to get the cover on/off. All I can say to that is that you need to be smarter than a piece of plastic. There's a little notch in the blade that the cover hooks on to; maybe that's causing the confusion.The part about this gadget that I really like, however, are the holes cut into the handle for stripping herb leaves off of stems. The holes are in varying diameters (or circumferences, if you will) to fit different-sized herbs through, from very tiny stalks of thyme up to bigger things, like maybe kale (although that would be a squeeze, I think. All you have to do is pull the stalk through the hole and voila!--the leaves strip right off. Huge time and aggravation saver!Of note, I saw a very similar tool advertised in a catalog for literally 3.5 times the price of this one. There doesn't appear to be much, if any difference, and this isn't like a prized Japanese or German knife that you are going to want to show off. Accordingly, I think this is the one to get!

As described and does work. Caution that the sharp cutting edge is very sharp so always keep the plastic cover on when not in use. The steel of the noncutting edges are also a little sharp/rough. Use care.

What a great, sturdy tool! I was concerned it would be cheap and flimsy. It definitely isn’t! This will last forever!

Looks nice. Tried it on kale and was not successful at stripping. It’s excellent at breaking the stems. I tried different hole, different side and the same problem. A knife works very well.
