I think it's 'original' in that it had a comfort grip vs. the old metal
handled peelers like shown in the article. I used the old metal type for
years, always wrapping a folded over paper towel around the handle for
comfort and a better grip. The paper towel was good about absorbing
potato starch which seemed to bother the skin on my hands when I had
many to peel.
