The only thing that’s not “buy it for life” about the Merkur is that it’s chrome plated. While the chrome plating is very thick, if you drop it enough times on hard surfaces (over the course of ~10 years) you’ll chip the plating.
It’s still an excellent value and I replaced it with another Merkur. My blade preference for the Merkur is Astra Superior Platinum.

Pro Tip: Hot Glue Stick + Lighter. Melt the end and apply to metal shavings/dust/chips stick to magnets 🧲.

Reply to My first potato peeler (Sparschäler) I got this Sparschäler 10 years ago already used by my grand mother. It is still a mass product and you can buy it for round about 5 USD. But this one is made in West Germany so at least 33 years old and almost daily in use. by Secundus_Scipio
It looks well cared for. Personally I prefer the Victorinox stainless steel peelers because I want to throw it in the dishwasher.
