The pleasure of peeling an orange, slicing an apple and cracking open a walnut, is so much easier with the mono tools designed specifically for the job; ideal for Christmas - to use at home, or as presents.

Mono’s Citro orange peeler is a graceful tool for a mundane task; score the orange peel into segments and with the angled blade lift and remove the strips.

The Mono Pico opens walnuts easily and gently; simply insert the Pico’s centre prong into the top of the nut at the seam, turn like a key and split the shell in half, then use the outer prongs to remove the nut from the shell.

The Mono Giro apple slicer lets you slice an apple in spiral form around the core; place giro on the started apple, finish it later and it will neither dry out nor get brown.
 
The tools retail at £18.00 each, but you can buy all three together for just £49.95.
