When you store this mandolin, is there something to cover the blade?

No, I didn't find anything that covered the blade. I left mine in the utensil drawer, and eventually the curvy blade became dull and no longer cuts.

There is nothing to cover the blade, but you can adjust it to the thinest setting and the blade exposure is minimal. We've had it for 3 months and haven't had any issues with storage.

No, but I saved the box it came in. You can raised the movable side up as far as it goes to help a little bit.

The blades have a storage case, but the one that stays in the mandolin does not have a cover so you do need to store it carefully.

The blades slide out and we store them in a little box. Not provided. We hang our Oma wall on the pantry.

I don't have that problem. I suspect that the blade cover (housing) is not properly inserted into machine. The gap between blade and blade cover is pretty small such that only minimal debris is collected. That has been my experience.

It doesn't come with a storage case or blade guard but I suppose you could find one somewhere. The scissors close tight and lock so the blade is not exposed while they sit in my utility drawer. When I'm preparing a big meal, I leave them in my utility canister right next to the stovetop so they are super easy to grab with one clean hand, so a storage case wouldn't work for me anyway. For this reason, I'm probably not the right person to ask about this.

No, just the side with the serration. Being that it's a folder, the other side of the blade will still be exposed when folded and if sharp can cut while in your pocket or just simply holding it.

There is a plastic insert inside the nylon. I've never had an issue with my knife being loose or exposed if it is buckled.

Bill, the simple answer is no used blade storage but here is what worked for me. I use a small plastic bottle? That came from a supermarket spice jar and for a while another small jar. That worked safely for me. Then a friend gave me a little white container he bought online with a slot, works great And will store used blades for a year? Hope this helps

No covers. It does have a plastic tray (part of packaging). I saved the tray and store the knives in it when they are not in use.

No, it comes in a package that consists of cardboard backing and clear plastic over top of knife that is molded to form over knife to keep it in place until the knife is removed from the packaging. Once removed there is nothing to protect the knife.

It does not come with a safety cover...and yes, it has a rather sharp edge. I happen to have a large utensil drawer so I keep it in its original flat box alongside my loose utensils. To place it directly in with your spatulas, etc. I would probably keep some bandages close by...of course that's only if your utensil drawer is as unorganized as mine...with any sharp item in the mix, it's an injury waiting to happen

Hello Colin, Sorry, I'm not sure what you refer to as the case. The mandoline includes the two items shown in the picture (the mandoline itself + the hand guard). Please let me know if you need further information. Kind regards, Maria

just a sleeve...protects the knife, but it needs a mod to carry it attached to a belt or a lanyard. I have added a hole for a lanyard at the end of the handle so I can carry around my neck if I choose...the sheath is very snug so it stays on by itself.

There is no protection for the blade. The blades on my knives have started to cut through the mesh slots.

I love my madolin and just use it with a flexible cutting board. I keep it flat so it is very stable as I cut. I think putting it over a bowl would make it rather dangerous to use. I do not see the advantage of a stand. I love my mandolin and gave them away as gifts to my siblings this year for Christmas. :)

It comes in a clamshell-style plastic package and is absolutely appropriate for storage when not using it. I generally use the sharp/smooth blade, so I use the package to store the serrated blade.

We haven't noticed any issues with the blade edge. There is a rubberized channel in the "V" in addition to the two horizontal rubber pieces (you can see those in the picture) that seem to protect the knife.

I used the sleeves that came on the knives. I was a meat cutter before retirement and used the plastic that was on the knife. The sleeves on the case are mesh and the blade will need a cover. Worked very well for carrying knives to the different stores I worked at.

The cutting surface is approximately 4 1/4 inches. BTW - when I purchased this Mandolin for my wife several years ago it came with a black plastic case. The case is no longer included but you can purchase the mandolin w/case at overstock.com
