Product Description
This grater has a finger safe design, so even though it will grate chocolate or cheese very efficiently, it won't leave your fingertips shredded. It's also designed to grate coarsely on one side, and finely on the other, making it twice as useful.
Amazon.com Review
This high-quality shaver from Kuhn creates presentation-quality dustings of hard chocolate and Parmesan. Two-sided, this paddle-shaped grater provides feathery fine gratings on one side and even finer shavings on the other. It's easy to hold this tool directly over food as you use it to grate, because the grating edges are very low--there's no need to worry about nicking your fingertips. This solidly built device is made of stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe. It also has a loop on the end of the handle, so it can be hung from a utensil rack. --Dale Steinke

 PLASTIC HANDLE: beware August 30, 2007

Even though the picture shows a metal handle, we overlooked the description which reads plastic handle, and got a device with plastic handle indeed. Since this is not direct from amazon, we lost the shipping fee and had to pay $7 to send it back.

Buyer beware.
The item pictured in their ads are not neccessarily the same as the item they may send you.
I recently purchased this Kuhn Rikon Cheese Grater with the expectation that I would receive a utensil that would match the rest of the Kuhn Rikon utensils in my kitchen, however, what I received was very different from the one I received.
Rather than a stainless steel tool, half of it is made out of a cheap looking plastic.
Worse still, all inquiries regarding this error have gone unanswered.
I cannot help but think that this was a blatant misrepresentation on the part of tabletools.com, and it is unfortunate that Amazon.com has become associated with such a low class retailer.
Buyer beware. any products with the subtext "Other products by Tabletools" is suspect. And if you end up having a problem with something you buy from them... do not expect any recourse... do not even expect a responese.
 No More Grated Fingertips May 28, 2004

I use this for grating parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and ginger. It does a great job on these. It doesn't take much effort, and you get a nice fluffy pile of small flakes. I'm sure it would work well for chocolate, too. But the real benefit of this thing is that, strange as it sounds, it doesn't have any sharp edges on the cutting surface, so your fingers are safe even when you're grating the last teeny bit of nutmeg or cheese. I've never used the highly touted Microplane brand equivalent, but my understanding is that it is very sharp and so, I suspect, not as safe in use or when you are rummaging for it in a drawer. A few minor nitpicks: 1) The cleanup is not completely effortless, since food can get caught in the very tiny cutting channels, but 4 or 5 swipes of the ScotchBrite pad usually do the trick. And of course you can use your fingers freely to help any remaining bits of food out. 2) It might benefit from a rubber bumper on the top edge so that it would grip the surface of a plate or countertop. If you're really going at it with a block of parmesan, it's nice to rest that top edge against something for support, and as it is, the grater can slip around a little when you do that. 3) It's not so good on mozarella, but I don't think any single grating surface can handle both soft and hard foods equally well. 4) And as long as we're talking about single surfaces, I'm a little bit puzzled about whether the back of this is supposed to give a different result than the front--the difference is not very dramatic if it is. But all in all I'm very happy to have this, and I pride myself on running a ruthlessly minimalistic kitchen when it comes to gadgets. If something isn't earning its drawer space, out it goes. This one makes the cut.
 Ideal for Pasta May 19, 2000

This is the best grater I've ever used for pasta, because it gives you big, fluffy flakes of Parmesan cheese, and it's also perfect for chocolate shavings on desserts. This product recently got a great review in The New York Times.
