Great knife, slicer is a bit confusing Jul 17, 2010 By PeteyBird
This knife is wonderful. The slicer, I'm still not sure how to adjust it, but it makes a fairly good slice. Maybe I need to look on the internet to get some help with that. I love that they will resharpen the knives if you send them in later. Just be careful not to drop as I've heard they can break.

Great mandolin, no comment on the knife Jan 19, 2011 By Wayne West
I picked up one of these Kyocera slicers/mandolins a few months ago and I LOVE IT. I've only used it twice: once for making a scalloped potatoes dish for Christmas and last week for slicing veggies for fajitas, and I really liked the results. I find the easiest way to use this is to put a bowl on the counter or in the sink, brace the mandolin against your stomach with your off-hand holding the back of the slicer, and slice away. When I did the potatoes, I had a bowl in the sink with water in it, so the sliced potatoes went straight in to it and never had a chance to oxidize and brown. For the fajitas, I did an onion and three bell peppers, and the uniformity of the slice thickness was really great.

The mandolin is adjustable for cut thickness through a four-sided bar on the back, I believe the thickest slice is up to 3 mm which has been a very good thickness for what I've been using it for.

I would strongly suggest NOT using the included guard/guide for your own safety. Buy yourself a cut-resistant glove or two instead, such as http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cut-resistant+glove&x=0&y=0&sprefix=cut-resistant+glove, this is a trick that I picked up from watching Good Eats and I heartily recommend it. I bought one when I bought my mandolin, and having the ability to properly and securely grip the item being sliced is a big bonus. However, the one that I bought is kind of disappointing, and after two uses, has already worn through in three places and will have to be replaced soon. It's a Microplane glove, I'm not sure which model, but I'll be trying a different brand.

I have no comment on the knife as the store from which I bought it sold the mandolin by itself.

Ceramic set Feb 07, 2012 By Benjamin C. Welsheimer
The slicer is the best part of this. Also note that it is not the double edge one as shown in the video. Only their non adjustable ones are double edge. Still the slicer goes through veggies like crazy always smooth cuts just be careful not to run them down to fast and cut yourself. I have not yet but it may happen in the future if im not careful.
The knife is good. It is sharp enough to shave hair off my arm. Its very light but solid feeling. Very easy to clean with just soap and water. Make sure you don't put this in a sink with the rest of the dishes it may get broken against plates or cups. Also you might get cut pretty badly if you just brush up against it. I will update this when the blade starts to get dull whenever that may be.
UPDATE. Chipped the slicer blade had it less than 24 hours. Chipped it with the handguard. Hopefully the small very sharp piece is in the plastic and not in my food.

Medium build quality, very good results Jun 18, 2011 By Daniel H. Okada
This mandoline has been mainly used for slicing sweet potatoes, for which it does an excellent job with fairly consistent thickness in the slices.

Due to the flexible nature of a mandoline made out of plastic, changing the pressure applied to the food will alter the thickness of slices, regardless of the thickness setting. But due to the extreme sharpness of the ceramic blade, very little pressure is actually necessary to properly cut slices. Technically, no downward pressure is necessary (on any mandoline), as it is only the sheering (lateral) force that actually slices food. Pressing down harder is just the natural tendency when any resistance is met, but this can actually make it more difficult to cut. Focus on keeping the pressure lateral rather than vertical and the blade of this mandoline can turn just about any vegetable or fruit into a stack of thin, even slices in very short order.

As many have already said, the included plastic guard/food holder is not particularly useful unless the user is really set on getting those last few slices out of whatever they happen to be cutting. As for working without the guard; this is a common sense call. A mandoline slices whatever you run across it; keep anything that should not be sliced off the face of the mandoline and away from the blade.

Construction and materials other than the actual cutting blade itself (which is excellent and will maintain an edge far longer than any steel edge) are mediocre at best, which is not unexpected for a $20 kitchen gadget.

This was purchased as a set alone with the basic 5.5" santoku, which should be reviewed separately, but in short it is what most reviewers have said it is; an extremely sharp blade that holds it edge better than any steel and will last as long as it is properly maintained and used (no hard surface cutting, no boning, no prying, etc.). While the particular blade received was sharp enough to make effortless thin tomato slices, it did not successfully cut paper like a razor blade or any extremely fine honed blade would. I was expecting a sharper factory edge although the one it came with performs about as well as any quality blade of equal or greater cost.

Great knife Jun 12, 2011 By Michael Lau "techi"
Wow, this knife is really sharp, easy to use and lightweight. I agree with most of the review on the adjustable slicer the thickest setting 3.0mm is very useful with cucumbers, tomatoes. The thinner settings 2.0, 1.3 and 0.5mm are almost useless on veggies.
