Kuhn Rikon Adjustable Mandoline, Red

Several years ago, I took off half of a thumb using a cheap plastic mandoline. I said I'd never use one again. Well, this isn't exactly a mandoline because it doesn't make all the fancy cuts--but I find that I don't need the fancy cutting blades. I'm mostly interested in getting paper thin shavings of cheese, radishes, onions, shallots, cucumbers, Napa cabbage, potatoes...just about everything that makes the difference between a so-so dish and a really nicely balanced one. I've used it almost every day, and now I am fearless. Great product (as are all Kuhn Rikon products), easy to adjust, easy to clean. Perfect.

It's great! And I have nothing but high praise for the seller.

The blade not removable. It not real Kuln Rikon it made in China.

I can't figure out if I got a defective one. It seems to do very thin slices only - not useful. The blade guard retracts as you turn a hand screw, which sets the slice width. But the blade guard does not retract all the way to follow the screw setting but stops as if the spring posts holding it have taken a set. If it followed the screw setting all the way, the slice width would be at least a quarter inch - which would be useful. Perhaps I should return for an exchange. Does anyone have experience with these things to comment on the maximum slice width possible?Otherwise it seems very well made and would get 5 stars if it sliced thicker.

Love this little kitchen helper. It’s great for small jobs and can be stored easily. Glad I have it.

This is the best thing I have bought in ages. Use it all the time, every salad, sandwich, and many recipes. It lives on my drainboard, I rinse it and use it again before it could be put in its drawer. Also very sharp and sturdy.

This is easy to use, easy to clean tool which makes life in the kitchen easier.Cannot imagine making cucumber salad without it.

Very pleased with this mandoline. Neat & petite and easy to carry in RV, tailgating or backyard bbqing.
