How will this stop small sharp fins from penetrating the mesh, or the pointed end of a thin knife (like a fillet knife)?

Not sure it can; I use it when cutting with sharp kitchen knives and the mandoline (kitchen instrument, not the musical one!)it works well enough for these purposes.

It won't stop thin sharp objects from penetrating mesh. The glove is only for cut protection not for anything else. There are gloves with penetration protection as well as cut protection but this is not one of them. This glove is made of steel mesh in order to be flexible, the holes in the mesh are very small but not foolproof.

Don't use guide, it will scratch knife's finish. Just use your hand keep 15 degree angle.

If you want to risk using the clipper end you better stretch the skin tight to avoid nicking as much as possible, but I would use the foil end just to be safe. Either way, keeping skin pulled tight is the way to go.

If your blade is clean and rust free to begin with it will help protect it. Don't use the blade to cut food items.

We have it in a block. But a knife protector would work. It's deceiving sharp and long. We call it the sword. We have also had some minor cuts & accidents.So I wouldn't recommend a magnet. It needs to be covered put out of reach for the safety of All.

Appreciate an answer but....The question is and was, "Does the blade scallop the wood at entry?" Apparently the narrower "kerf" blades have a propensity for this problem. Especially if they are not metal.

Instructions: use the guard and don't get your fingers too close to the blade.

On the inside when the knife is open there is a lever that u push to one side, this is what keeps it open so it doesn't close while using it

The blade is shielded so it does not make any contact with the surface of the pan. Should not be an issue.

Sure, it gets small scratches, but this is just like any plastic cutting product. My biggest problem was that I have sliced the guide going down the sides with my knife. Now it catches. Just go SLOW and easy and you will be fine.

Hi Sue,I have a magnetic knife strip. It's perfect for holding the knives so they aren't banging around in a drawer and safer too. Hope this helps.

Within the sleeve there is a lever that locks it into an open position...push it to the left and close the blade.

I agree with Anthony Smith, it loosens in time. With that said, I've got to believe the tension on the liner varies from knife to knife. I've seen that reported enough times.

There is a small piece of metal that acts as a clip. It locks in to prevent the knife from closing and possibly cutting your fingers. take that small metal piece and pull it to the left and it should allow the blade to be put back in place.

I got the same plane. What I did was hone the blade and round the corner of the blade a bit. This will help prevent the sharp corner from digging in too deep when you are planing. It's hard for me to explain in words, but here's some link that I find very useful sharpening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvTcReENk9g . Flattening , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQyjLV92224. Hope that helps.

I have sharpened some fairly small blades. KME sells a set of jaws for pen knives. I've yet to get one, but it's on my list.

Like a hot knife through butter. If the pipe is the right size, feed it slowly to avoid gumming up the blade. Clean cuts without a problem.
