I was at a craft fair & saw similar item, but it sliced fruit veggies and meat too? Does this knife slice them too?

I'm sure it would, but I have not tried it on those. I prefer to keep this knife strictly for slicing breads

Maybe softer fruits and veggies or lunchmeat. I don't think potatoes/watermelon/roast beef, etc. I have not tried it for those types of foods.

Sorry to say Gwendolyn, the slicer blade broke the first time I used it and I had to return it. I wouldn't be able to recommend the item.

I don't think it slices because it only had one blade. It will shred lettuce and cabbage very nicely. Check to see if you can purchase additional blades for additional slicing Otherwise, it's ,neat, fast, easy to clean, DW safe and tub is a good size.

Anytime you have something to slice that has a tough outer skin, the knife does bog down. However, it has no problem carving roast, making a steak from a roast, bread (not with a tough crust), turkey, or anyother meat. I haven't found it helpful on raw vegetables .

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

I use it to slice normal kitchen fare like vegetables & trim meat. It is not a hunting or survival knife

This knife is used for vegetables, I use it exclusively for veggies. You could use it for meats, why would you want to?

No, it only slices. The one I ordered I only used twice. The second time the plastic holding the blade broke and the blade feel out.

I think I understand you question. The purple thing that you see in the picture slides back and forth and hold the veggie being sliced. Do be careful the blades are very sharp but it is a great product for the price.

I use mine for slicing apples. It does flex a bit if I push down to hard so I end up with wedge shapes. But I like it and use it all the time. I also use it for carrots, it slices right thru them, no problem. The one feature I really like is that you can lock the blade down for safety. If you buy it, order a Kevlar glove or similar to protect yourself from the blade.

My experience was pretty bad. I ended up throwing mine away. The blade wouldn't cut through any vegetable with a skin (e.g. eggplant, zucchini, etc) without tearing the vegetable. Even after I got the blade professionally sharpened. I would suggest a mandoline with a blade set at an angle.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

I have not tried that but the blade is very sharp. I use it mainly to make fresh fruit smoothies and it works great.

No... it just slices... but is great for three different thicknesses of slice ... saves me incredible time in the kitchen making salads... and is worth every penny!

As I am a vegetarian I do not eat meat so I would not know if the knife would work for that purpose. I did purchase a slicing knife at Amazon that is great. It is almost as large as the cake knife and just as sturdy.I do not know how to sharpen a serrated blade.

The knife pretty good sharp. I do like and I use for cutting fruit at work. For me is a good knife.

I don't use it much at all anymore. Got it out the other day and replaced it with my Mac santoku which I love. It does slice well, but I'm not really pleased with it. I don't know if it would work on harder veggies, I also use a Forschner 8" chef's knife for harder things, seems more sturdy.
