An apparatus for removing a skin layer of elongate vegetables, such as cucumbers and carrots, includes an elongate housing mounting blade segments therewithin. A manually supported embodiment of the invention includes coaxially arranged resilient segments mounting rigid blade members at a lowermost end thereof defining a conical chamber for directing of the vegetables therethrough. The blade segments may be formed of various configurations, such as utilizing triangular projections in association with fluid directing apertures, as well as cylindrical cutters directed interiorly of the blades. The blades define offset cutting elements. The invention further includes a power-driven aspect of the invention utilizing a central cylindrical hopper defining a cylindrical cutting blade coaxially arranged within the chamber, as well as using a helical wire mounting a matrix of spaced needle cutting members projecting interiorly of the cutting chamber to enhance cutting of a vegetable therethrough.
