Overview
A Japanese-made plastic-body mandoline with three interchangeable blades for fine, medium and coarse julienne plus straight slicing, and a screw adjustment on each side for cutting thickness.
Body is sturdy plastic rather than metal, with a stainless steel blade the manufacturer notes is molybdenum rust-resistant. Overall size runs about 315 x 92 x 24 mm with a 64 mm cutting surface width, and all three blades pop out for cleaning or sharpening rather than being fixed in place.
- Three interchangeable blades
- 64mm cutting surface width
- Molybdenum rust-resistant steel blades
- Overall size about 315 x 92 x 24 mm
Who it's for
Home cooks and kitchen staff who want one tool that switches between slicing and three grades of julienne. Less suited to someone who wants an all-metal mandoline body.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Three interchangeable blades for slicing and three julienne widths
- Blades pop out for cleaning and sharpening
- Adjustable cutting thickness via side screws
- Plastic body rather than stainless steel
- Thickness is set with screws rather than a quick dial
Performance notes
Cutting thickness is set by turning the screws on either side of the blade rather than a single dial, and swapping between the three blades is a pop-out and pop-in motion rather than a tool change.
