Is this slicer double-edged like the other Kyocera slicers?

HelloIT ONLY SLICES GOING IN ONE DIRECTION, away from the person slicing..it is 3 position adjustable
1651085
NO mine did not slice but one way.... I did not like it I wanted an adjustable one . I gave it away!

It only slices one direction, which is fine for my needs. My disappointment in this product is in it's "adjustability." I was not happy with the amount that this slicer could really be adjusted - I could really not see must difference in the size of slices at all. I may have miss-read the description, but I was really expecting a much greater spread in the size of slices available to me.

The adjustable slicers are not double-edged so they cut only on the stroke away from the handle. The blade is fixed in place and the "table" on the handle end adjusts up and down to provide the different thicknesses, 0.5, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.0 mm. The double-edged slicers cut as the food is moved in both directions at 1.5 mm thickness. I prefer the adjustable one, but the 1.5 mm is a good compromise. Watch the videos provided by other reviewers. They both cut quickly and very good, including a tiny slice off a finger! Your bleeding may vary. ;~)

No. As others have written, it only slices in one direction. However, it does have an adjustment bar that allows for more than one thickness -- in case that's what the questioner means by double-edged.

The blade is in a shape like this \/ , not like this l/ If that is what you are asking, if you are asking if it is a double edge, no, the blade just runs up one side. The base is flat on both sides and in its same shape (minus the cord wrap).

Also B0002IYI62 looks the same. Different colors. Different year models? I would like to know too. Check image 3 on:Benriner Japanese Mandolin Vegetable Slicerby GrunwergIt shows the lady with 2 slicers of different colors but appear to be the same size.

Yes, it is, but I love the slicer. I use it about 2-3 times per month. It isn't hard to clean and slices as thin as I want. A great buy!

I'm thinking about buying this unit.just wondering why you didn't leave a review??? what is your opion of this slicer??

Sorry I have never seen or tried the slicer Dicer, I just found the grooves that the blades fit through keep getting jammed and food gets stuck inside the grooves. It isn't as easy as the demonstrators show them to be. I wasted my money because I never use it.

As best I can see the pic you posted, it looks like the one I bought for my slicer and it is a wonderful blade. I almost never use the serrated blade. The smooth one slices cold cuts thinner than paper!!

I have 2 now - one has serrated blade, the other is smooth. Forgot I had one in the drawer and bought another today, March 18, 2015; the newer one is the smooth edged one.

The slicing guide only indicates "thick" on one side and "thin" on the other. It is not variably adjustable.

It looks the same, but I don't have enough details to give an authoritative answer. It's pretty heavy-duty and does a great job, although I only use it on the small slices, so I can't speak to the alignment issues others have mentioned. My only complaint with it is that the "clips" that hold the dialer and the push-through cover in place are very tight and hard to release, so if you're doing a lot of apples, they'd make my hands hurt. Unless I'm missing a secret, that would be hard to deal with. I suppose that's the flip side of keeping them from falling apart, but I would like a "quick-release" mechanism.

I think it depends on how hard you press when slicing. I usually can get a thin slice but my hubby can press hard and get a thick slice. It is very sharp.

When the blade is removed, the gears visible are plastic.My biggest complaint is "slippage" in the thickness control....when one is slicing, it's natural to press the food item against the plate that sets the thickness, and it responds by moving slightly on each slice - meaning that unless one is paying attention and resets things every few slices, one is faced with thicker and thicker pieces (in my case) of meat for jerky. Not good.

I've not had mine very long and have only used it once...and it does slice...the slicing looks like a slinky (spirally) ...lol

It is a double-sided cutting edge and I have used it to slice through 1/4" limbs! It's an awesome tool and became my favorite gas-powered device after using it for 2 minutes.

I have the two slicer, not the four. I have never touched the front while toasting.

They are both good but be aware! The KA 7 cup comes with a 2mm slicer and they do not sell any others to fit it! You are limited to very thin slices for ever and ever.........
