Abstract: A lemon hand peeler consisting of a generally horseshoe-shaped frame provided with an inwardly arcuate spaced apart cutter blade whose ends are rigidly supported by the frame. The frame is adapted to be held in one hand so as to enable the user to remove the peel from a lemon, or other citrus fruit, by engaging the cutting edge of the blade into the rind of the lemon and rotating manually the lemon for the purpose of separating the rind from the meat.
