Microplane is a registered trademark[1] of Grace Manufacturing Inc., a company that makes photo etched steel tools (surform tools) for grating, grinding and sanding. It was created by brothers Richard & Jeff Grace in the mid-1990s. The Grace brothers set out to make a wood-carving rasper[2] and ended up with a new invention, which in 1991 would come to be called Microplane.[3]
Kitchen graters
[edit]
Microplane graters are used for the grating of various food items, such as nutmeg and cheese, and also as zesters for citrus fruit.
Wood rasps
[edit]Microplane originally made wood rasps and shaving disks, and they still do.
