Microplane’s razor sharp surgical grade stainless steel blades are created through a chemical process called photo-etching that defines and sharpens the edge of each blade tooth. This results in much sharper graters, zesters and kitchen tools. Microplane fans love how fast, precise and long-lasting our products are, but personal safety is a top concern of ours! We offer cut resistant gloves, food grips, and guards to protect your fingers, shop all Microplane’s safety accessories, today!
