Has anyone got a really good lemon zester?

I’ve got a Good Grips one, that used to be brilliant, but seems to have become blunt! It was a real effort earlier, to zest just one lemon for a drizzle cake.

Microplane every time. Good for Parmesan too.
Available in different sizes of grater gauges.

I've also got the microplane one, it does get off a lot of fine zest and doesn't dig down into the pith.

Another vote for Microplane

Microplane wouldn’t use anything else

I got a microplane one, but gave up on it as every time I used it I was wounded. They are so sharp they are lethal. Lemon juice on a grated finger is not fun.
