This Ateco chocolate shaver is really sharp. It makes cutting chocolate really easy. It cuts perfect size slivers. The chocolate melts very evenly when I cut chocolate with this shaver.

I had high hopes for this tool. Although it stood up to the chocolate pretty well, my employees were hard on it, and broke it in less than a week. Make sure the chocolate is soft for the best curls. Cold, hard chocolate does not curl well.

This chocolate shaver is easy to use and works very well. It is very slim and can also be adjusted with the turn of the screw to shave different thicknesses.

Perfect for shaving bars of chocolate. The Ateco 1345 came very sharp and easy to use. Stainless steel so no problems with rusting and nice price.

The Ateco 1345 Chocolate Shaver (August Thomsen) is a nice stainless steel tool, it has some weight to it and sharp. Great price for a durable tool.

Easy to use and produces great chocolate curls when the chocolate is at the right temperature. I would prefer if the handle was angled just a bit.

I used this to shave a brick of milk chocolate. This was exactly what I needed to create chocolate shavings to cover my chocolate cake covered chocolate icing.

I am not sure how I feel about this shaver...I am not sure if it is the shaver or my chocolate that caused problems. It has an adjustable blade, which seems like it would be handy. I used it on chocolate with a little success, but it was better with parmesan. I will try again with a different bar of chocolate.

This product like everyone so far ordered from westaurant has far exceeded anything you can buy at the box stores. Finding restaurant quality at affordable prices will keep me returning again!

I really like the sharpness of the blade on this shaver. I was able to create thin chocolate shaves and well as thicker ones just by applying a little more pressure.

This chocolate shaver works wonders!!.. Very sturdy and super easy to use. We use this in store all the time and absolutely love it. Cleaning it hasn't been a problem either and its just the right size to be able to grip firmly. The shaves turn out great we have no complaints.

Ateco does not know a single bad product. This is a very straight forward chocolate shaver. It also works great for shaving hard cheeses like Parmesan.

I love the consistency in the shavings, it makes my life so much easier than using something as unsuitable and a grater---this is a must have. I use it mostly when I want to garnish my desserts.

I would have returned this product if I had not been too hasty and thrown away the packaging - I did not find it easy to use or even that it produced the chocolate curls i was hoping for - disappointing.

This tool has been a lifesaver! I am so happy I purchased this tool. It makes beautiful curls with little effort. I used to struggle with getting nice looking curls that I could use as decorations on top of cakes and cupcakes. Very happy I found this because it works wonderfully! I also love that it is adjustable.

This is good quality chocolate shaver for a great price. The construction is solid and well thought out. Your curls will come out perfect every time. I love the fact that you can adjust the thickness of your curls too.

I bought it as a chocolate shaver, but I end up using it almost every day to slide my garlic. Very easy to clean and you can adjust the thickness. Great addition to my kitchen.

Make sure your chocolate is at the correct temp or this product won't work correctly. It take a little while to get the hang of how this thing works but once you get it, it works quite well.

Poor quality product that feels cheap and hurts your hands when holding it. They really should have made a better handle for it rather than flat metal.
