it cuts fairly thin (definitly not SHAVED thin). I really have not tried to see how thin it would go because I like things a little thicker. Does great on ham, roast beef, etc.

Up to 1.5 inches it doesn't really help make thinner slices, which was the reason I bought it. I then bought a deli slicer knife that has an adjustable blade that can slice very thin slices. Neither one is as good as a machine of course. The deli slicer's blade is not as sharp though and the wooden one looks nicer if that matters to you.

It probably is a hair thinner. I'm not sure of the exact measurement but it takes an good edge. I wouldn't baton it but it's a great slicer. I put more of a scandi grind on mine and batoning was a bad idea. It will cut meat, or make good shavings and it's great for all around use but if you want to baton a blade buy something heavier or get an axe.

Yes, but not super thin.... you would be better off with a mandolin grater for chips.

To be exact, it's 3/16 inch. It's a very good width for chopping and cutting. This is the standard and often preferred thickness for a blade of this size and function.

From the information that I could find the blade is 2 mm thick. I hope this helps. Thank you American Survival Gear

Max thickness is about an inch and a half. I purchased mine to cut pinewood derby cars for our scout troop if that helps.

Sorry I took so long, have been traveling. The slicer has a thin side for 1/8" slice and a thick slice of 3/8". I used the thick side for the apples, pears and peaches I sliced for drying. Hope this helps, Gloria

It is not a quarter inch thick. You are thinking of the esee 5 by Rowen. Jeff randall knife

The slices are about a half inch but can be cut thicker if you prefer. The distance is adjustable by choosing the slot to cut through. I like it and find it easy to use.

I've never measured it but it can make tissue thin or as thick as an average pickle chip. This is the best tool for commercial kitchen. I have three of them. I'm a career chef and this is a must for prep. They are pricey but worth every penny. The blade can be removed and sharpened. It is quality just as any high priced japanese steel tool. Never settle for less than Benriner.

Hi Gary, I'm guessing you want to know how thick the piece of cheese will be. I just cut one, and it is about 2.5 mm thick. By the way, I am not that happy with the slicer. I had had it about two months when the handle developed a crack (it is a beautiful cheese slicer and handle (just like one I bought in Denmark)), and when I contacted the co. they didn't respond. I always wash my wooden handled equipment by hand, so it is not misuse that it is the cause.

I honestly can't say, yet. I used it to slice & core some granny smith apples, twice, to sauté in a bit of butter & cinnamon sugar. It was automatically perfect for my task, so I haven't tried to adjust. The slices were maybe 3/8" thick.

It's about an 1/8 inch thick, works pretty good, nice & compact, you'll need to sharpen the blade, I used a standard flat file
