Hack a Putty Knife Into a Vegetable Peeler That Also Slices Potato Chips [Kitchen Hacks]

If you've cut your finger with traditional vegetable peelers over the years you may want to invest a few minutes and a new putty knife into making a hand peeler where the peeler strikes the product and not vice-versa which means there is less chance of cutting yourself.

Instructables user bartolo gives simple instructions on how to make the transformation?draw a wide U-section on the blade of the putty knife, cut it out with a rotary tool cutting wheel, fold down the cutting edge a bit with pliers, and sharpen the cutting edge with the rotary tool.

The resulting tool not only peels vegetables with ease but can also make thin slices for potato chips and carrot or cheese slices for salads. As long as you take care when modifying and sharpening the tool you should have much less of cutting yourself when using the finished putty peeler.
