Abstract: The present invention teaches a corn stripper for removing kernels from ear corn. The corn stripper has a relatively tall annular stripper element of a fixed diameter. A bow tie shaped handle is secured to the stripper element at its narrow central section to provide a pair of wide hand graspable sections for manipulation of the corn stripper. The leading or lower edge of the stripper element is not sharpened, but is rounded or chamfered to limit cutting or rending of the kernels during removal. The handle preferably flares upwardly away from the stripper element to keep the handle and hands of the user above the work surface and any accumulated kernels.
