Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for use over a cutting surface or bowl, this mandoline by Shun makes it easy to cut julienne slices, make French fries or shoestring potatoes, and more. As part of Shun's Pro line, the mandoline provides a VG-10 super steel cutting blade, which can be easily resharpened on a whetstone as needed. The unit's high-quality blade offers a one-sided beveled edge with a hollow ground back, which creates an air pocket between the blade and the food for reduced friction, helping to prevent food from sticking to the blade. In addition, the thoughtfully constructed mandoline's food carriage comes attached to the guide rail for peace of mind, while its removable blade allows for safe storage. Other highlights include heavy-gauge stainless-steel housing for stability, ebony black PakkaWood feet that can be removed when storing or cleaning, and a main deck that can safely go in the dishwasher for thorough cleanup from one use to the next. Accessories include four blades and a blade storage case. Blades consist of a VG-10 slicing blade, a 1/8-inch shoestring blade, a 1/4-inch julienne blade, and a 3/8-inch French fry blade. The mandoline measures approximately 10-2/5 by 8-1/2 by 10-1/2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
From the Manufacturer
The Shun Pro Mandoline
Why Buy the Shun Pro Mandoline
The Shun Pro Mandoline features the 16-degree, single-bevel blade design inspired by the 700-year-old Japanese Yanagiba blade. This blade is preferred by Japanese chefs for producing the cleanest, most precise slices possible. Made from the same high-quality VG-10 steel as the Shun Pro knives, the hollow-ground back of the blade creates an air pocket between the blade and the food, reducing friction and allowing for an easy glide pattern during use. This is the only mandoline on the market with a main blade that can be removed and resharpened, making it the only product of its kind. The food carriage is designed for safety, with a handle which keeps hands away from the blade at all times.
NSF certified for use in commercial kitchens.

This review is from: Shun Pro Mandoline Food Slicer (Kitchen)
While the cost might be high, the quality and materials used are fantastic. Everything is made to last and the Shun blades are razor sharp. For those with all the gadgets, this is definitely another one to add to the bunch, you won't be disappointed. Plus, with the handle's construction, cutting yourself is impossible when used as shown.

This review is from: Shun Pro Mandoline Food Slicer (Kitchen)
This is a great mandolin. I have several Shun knives and they are of excellent quality so I expected the same for the mandolin. It is as I expected. I had one small problem with the main blade...there are two pieces of plastic that hold it in place in the mandolin and one broke off when I was removing the blade. I don't know if it was pilot error or if it is just a weak point in the blade. I emailed Shun and received a new blade within a few days...free of charge...no questions asked. That kind of service is truly unique and unexpected in these times. I think if I am just more careful next time it will not continue to be a problem. This mandolin is worth the investment if you can afford it. I know I tried a few of the cheap models and was never satisfied.

This review is from: Shun Pro Mandoline Food Slicer (Kitchen)
I love this mandoline! Excellent quality. I have only used the slicer (mostly for slicing potatoes for potatoes au gratin. But I will use the other blades at some point.
I purchased this for $300 on sale, which i thought was a little steep. But given that it is the only high quality slicer on the market that is safe to use (no chance of losing fingers).
