Microplane | Ultra-Sharp Graters & Zesters

The Microplane grater began life as a 1990 woodworking rasp, invented by brothers Richard and Jeff Grace. In 1994, a home cook discovered it worked brilliantly for zesting citrus, and the kitchen version was born.

Microplane uses a photochemical etching process to create ultra-sharp cutting edges, the same technology originally developed for precision woodworking tools.
