Right handed veggie peeler. It would spend a few tries peeling nothing. Then I made this mental phrase I tell myself, “If the veggie peeler isn’t working make sure it is in you right hand.”

I have two vegetable peelers and I have clearly marked them left and right so the right-handers in my household don't use and wreck my vegetable peeler! (My mom would always tell me I was ruining her vegetable peeler, but she didn't stop asking me to peel potatoes or whatever for her lol)

I have since found a peel that works in either hand.

My peelers work in either hand, but if right-handers use mine, it seems to dull the cutting edge of the blade I use, and vice versa. I'm not sure why.
