My guard works fine on mine..........when I decide to use it LOLDearborn MI

I have the Kyocera ceramic one. It collects dust just as good as the rest of them.

I have had one of these Boerner V-Slicers for 15 years and love it. It is only now starting to show any wear on the blade and I will likely replace it with one of the same.It slices at 2 thicknesses and 2 size julienne cuttersAgree with everyone that you MUST use the guard and don't rush.1 LBGE in Chapel Hill, NC

I don't use it that often, but when I do it works quite nicely. Swissmar Borner V-1001 V-Slicer Plus Mandoline. Amazon for 39.99. Great.reviews. It's cheap and works well.Cleveland, Ohio

Borner V slicer. Awesome mandolin. I had the good grips one and it was a straight edge slicer and it was a POS. V slicers work better IMO.

Thanks for all the replies. I been a little busy to reply but since I got the Work Sharp and actually see how my knives cut when they are good n sharp I might just hold off on the mandolin-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini.

I have super sharp knives and great knife skills, but I still use my Matfer often. I wear a steel-mesh glove and keep my palm level with the cutting edge. Potatoes for gratins; radishes for salads; zuccini for quick sautés; and perfect small carrot batons for dicing. Love it.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Much faster than a knife if you want all the slices uniform so they cook equally as well.Dearborn MI

i cant see spending all that money on a slicer, my old one cuts me just fine
) i use this one for cabbage, potato gratin, and summer squashes and it still works fine after 60 or so years, i found a new one a few years ago online and that ones at camp, its not as sharp since they went to stainless blades

Cook's Illustrated rated mandolines a number of years ago, I bought their #1 recommendation, the Oxo Good Grips V-Blade. It was rather complicated to set up, and I broke it after only a few uses. :(They ran the test again in the May/Jun '14 issue, and had the same complaints after a long use of it. The new winners are the Swissmar Borner that several have already mentioned, and a simple Kyocera (although it doesn't julienne). I now have the Borner but haven't used it yet... ">_____________

A nice mandolin slicer is a great asset to have in the kitchen. I bought a Borner probably 24 years ago from a tv infomercial and I love it. It's starting to show its age but you can't replace it for slicing onions for French Onion soup, or making homemade cottage fries etc. I have a great selection of knives but this type of slicer is handy to have and I would buy a Borner again. Chefscatalog.com has a few, my experience with good grips and oxo is they make great gadgets but nothing I would buy with a sharp blade attached. Just my .02, Good luck!

Here's mine. No brand though. Sorry.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
