Query: The middle path

If you are willing to spend $100-$200 you can get a fine French mandolin that works well. If you try to save too much and buy a Taiwanese model for $10 you will get frustrated trying to use it. The Benrinner is the perfect middle path. It is plastic yes, but it is made in the same country that makes Honda. This thing really works. The blades are high quality and the plastic is tough and durable.I buy these by the case from quickspice and sell them to friends.One note. Alway, always, always where a glove. Mandolins are famous for slicing fingers. i use the blue rubber coated ones, again, you could spend more for one designed for cut protection but I find the blue rubber coated gloves to work just fine.peace,Jimmy
