A peeler having a blade extendible for use and retractible for compact storage, a substantially hollow handle having a forward end and a rearward end, the forward end having an enlarged blade receiving opening, the handle having opposed sides, a top and a bottom, an extendable blade holder within said handle when in a retracted position, a blade held in said blade holder, a locking mechanism for locking the blade in extended and retracted positions, a spring to automatically extend the blade, said blade holder having a forward end having a closure tip for closing the blade receiving opening, the closure tip extends downwardly beyond the blade to provide a buffer for the blade when the blade holder is extended, the handle has an ergonomic external shape for ease of use, the forward end of the handle tapering inwardly along its sides, top, and bottom for allowing the fingers of the user's hand to tightly hold the handle and more precisely manipulate the extended blade, the locking mechanism including an enlarged button on the top of the handle, the top of the handle surrounding the button being relatively flat so that the palm of the hand is out of contact with the button when the peeling blade is being used, the rearward end of the blade holder has an access opening into the handle when the blade holder is extended, a second access opening in the rearward end of the handle, said access openings providing a flow path through the handle to assist in clearing debris from within the handle when the peeler is being washed or flushed out.
