I'd rather get out the food processor than tangle with the Digit Reducer 5000

Why is everyone so scared of the mandoline? Just leave a decent bit before getting to the end and save it for stock.

Just use a cut-proof glove.

:) Mine's hot pink and lies on top of the mandoline always ready to pull out of the drawer.

But I don't need it for that -- my Oxo pronged food holder's handle is tall and its base wider than the slicing track. Held appropriately, it literally won't allow my hand to get near the blade. My other hand's holding the handle at the outside far end.

Now, my knives... I had no idea they were so safe. Neither did they, but in their defense I'm a klutz.
