I would probably use a large cleaver or a knife that is a lot larger to cut it down to manageable pieces then use the Mac to finish it. You have to be careful the knife is very sharp use care and common sense keep your fingers out of the way, enjoy this knife it is a work of art and fun to use. Safety first is the motto when using any sharp object. Cook away.

I see no reason why not. The special cutting blade is so very sharp. Making long flat slices of a zucchini should be a breeze.BTW after seeing my Mandoline Slicer my sister-in-law is ordering one. Wait till you see the free bonus paring knife. Wow.

Yes. You should be able to slice cabbage with no problem. But wear a glove because this thing doesn't play if you cut yourself with it. The blade is crazy sharp!

If you are not cutting anything to big, 1 to 1.5 in dia or smaller, you might be better off with a good set of loppers. It will work better and be less dangerous.

i would say yes it would be great to carve a pumpkin, but it is extremely sharp, so be careful your kid doesn't get a hold of it.

No don't do it! A dry cut saw turns at a much slower RPM and is able to use this blade. A regular chop saw will ruin this blade and the material. Be safe not sorry.

The small face details (for example, eyes, nose, ears) can cut thin-sliced cucumber, but you cannot use the outer shape to cut cucumber as the cutter is bigger than a cucumber. The small details that you cut can be used to create other faces. There is a guideline on how to combine small cutouts to create other fun shapes on CuteZCute web site. Also, if you would like to get a vegetable cutter, I recommend using this http://www.amazon.com/CuteZcute-Stainless-Vegetable-Cutters-cutters/dp/B00DTJRACK/ref=sr_1_34?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1390419009&sr=1-34

Yes, my daughter uses it to cut vegetables and the grip is better for little kids than that of a butter knife

Not a problem. Suggest you trim the ends before adding to salad bowl. This can be done with the single blade mezzaluna. This is really an urban version of the blade that Eskimos use to butcher seals, whales and other foods. These blades are exceptionally sharp and con be used for most kind of cutting (not bone).

Most definitely!! It can be used for any "fine" cutting. Just remember that it is a "pull saw", not a "push saw". (Japanese style)

I use mine in a professional environment and there's nothing I cant cut with this knife. I have skinned fish, cleaned chicken and cut fruits and veggies. I love this knife!

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

I wouldnt want to slice tomtatoes or onions with it. I would be afraid of getting my fingers in the blade. I would use a mandaline for that.

The blade is very thin and sharp so its a great thin slicer. Potatos and peeled squash yes but anything with tough skin should be cut with a heavier knife.

Yes, this knife also works well for cutting sushi rolls. Be sure to clean thoroughly between cuts/rolls (with a rag).

Yes you can. I would think about any veggie. Just watch what type of surface you cut on. (wood preferably) They Will chip or brake if misused. Be careful they are very sharp.

Yes, it should be able to, the blade is very sharp so it take little effort to make the cuts.
