This one looks more like a peeler rather than zester.

It's a canelle knife. You zest a lemon or other citrus fruits with the row of round holes and cut strips of peel off the whole fruit with the little blade on the side. Very useful.Hello everyone!
Have any of you come across something like this? I'm trying to figure out what its intended use is :P.
If it helps, it's aproximately 5.3 inches (135 mm.) long.
Cheers!
Not a canelle knife. It's a peeler traditionally popular with marmalade and jam makers. You can buy them for peeling citrus fruits or peeling apples but I don't think they are interchangeable unless specifically labelled for both.Most certainly a zester
Bonzer Zip Zester I'd love to have a go on this one! What does everything think to this design?
Charlie is correct.For making strips of zest rather than grating it, but it's still a zester.
Charlie is correct.
A zester only takes little shreds of the very outside of the peel for flavour, decoration etc. This actually peels the fruit taking some of the pith with it.
