Can anyone tell me the length of the the sharp part of the slicing blade (blade that supports the coring ring and slices the apple)? Not the peeler.

The blade itself is 2.25". The stainless steel assembly that the blade is a part of is 3.5"

You can cut slices either 3.5 mm (approximately 1/8) or 7 mm (slightly over 1/4") thick. There are two julienne blades, 3.5 mm and 7 mm wide.

That really depends on how you measure the "length" of the blade. As you can see, it is not a straight edge from tip to hilt along the cutting edge. If you measure from the tip to where the edge stops near the handle in a straight line, it's very close to 3 1/4 inches. If you measure along the spine of the knife from the tip to where it meets the handle, it's closer to 3 3/8 inches.

If you remove the slicer it can peel the apple. I'm not sure if it can core the apple. I've never used it without the slicer/corer.

The slicer is about 15 inches long and 12 inches wide. And to use it I have enough space to operate it comfortably about 20 by 20.

If you remove the slicer you also remove the corer. It will only be peeled.

Hi Karen!There are three slice thicknesses: 1/16", 1/8", and 1/4". There is also a julienne blade.Janet

As long as the apple is not bigger than the inner circle of the cutter, yes it will slice through. I have had no issues with this.

I bought this slicer for my mom. She said it's pretty thin. Maybe 1/4 inch is the thinkest and a little thicker than paper thin is the thinnest. I hope this helps.

i am not sure. i had a slicer my mother gave me years ago but it finally "died". i found the one i have on amazon, read the reviews on various brands and finally decided on the one i wanted. it is heavier than my old one but it works quite well. i wish i knew the difference but i don't. i am so sorry i could not give you the info you needed.

A regular tomato.......1/4 inch? We've never had a problem with this and we've beeen slicing tomatoes for a long time. How cool is this that you're asking? Good luck; I think you should buy it and you'll like it!

It should be called the "hinged pusher"; you flip that cover out of the way, push the slicer down over the apple. The apple goes all the way through except for the width of the blades. You flip the cover/pusher around and push the apple out of the slicer. Do a few apples, it works great!

Sorry for the late response- I was on a computer-free vacation. The actual length of the sharpened section of the blades, measured separated, is 2 15/16". The practical and actually useable length is a bit shorter by probably 1/4". I do like these shears. They are everything the marketing propaganda says they are.

That sounds about rt. Wasnt a big box. The slicer extends just about an inch on either side of my palm

A small apple....I don't think it will be strong enough to slice it though.

I just measured mine and it is 1 3/4" from the center. A 3" blade would take a really LARGE pineapple.

The blade is adjustable so that you may accommodate different sized apples. It is a really nice model, with great functionality.
