Reply to comment by kermityfrog in Just throwing it out there: Peugeot pepper and salt mills by Alb1rdy

If you ever look at the shape of burrs, they're designed to grind one direction. It shouldn't be necessary to put a sticker on it saying so. Not saying it's going to break but there is a clear difference between turning one way vs the other.

Some pepper grinders feature clockwise for fine grind and counter for coarse grind.

Standard grind is one way. It doesn't hurt the standard grinder much to reverse, maybe just a little more wear. I used a Peugeot pepper grinder possibly ever thirty seconds for decades in restaurants. No fails.

The pewter one I have at home has seems to have not aged a bit in 17 years.
