Westmark Columbus Egg Wedger

The Westmark Columbus is specifically engineered for firm, hard-boiled eggs. While the tension wires are durable, they are not designed to slice through softer items like mushrooms or strawberries, which may cause the wires to bend or snag.

No, 'new old stock' means the item is an authentic, unused vintage piece that has been preserved in its original packaging. While the box may show minor signs of age from storage, the tool itself remains in pristine, unused condition.

Because of the delicate tension wires, we recommend hand washing this tool immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can compromise the metal finish and the integrity of the wire connections.

Yes, the design is quite efficient. The lever-style handle provides good leverage, allowing you to slice through a hard-boiled egg with a single, smooth downward press without requiring significant force.

The metal is durable, but it is best to keep it dry. After hand washing, simply towel dry the tool thoroughly to prevent any potential water spotting or oxidation on the vintage metal surfaces.
