Kyocera FK140202BK Review by Alchemist (LA, CA, USA)
I like the knife very much. I can cut some tough beef steaks easily. The slicer looks cheaply made. I haven't figured out how to set it up for use yet.
Kyocera FK140202BK Review by Helo Canassa
Awesome and very sharp knife. It's also extremely light, making works easier. The ceramic look is so clean, you want to hang it somewhere. The only reason I don't rank it a 5-star is because I am afraid I might have to purchase a differente sharpener since it's a different material.
Kyocera FK140202BK Review by Wayne West
I picked up one of these Kyocera slicers/mandolins a few months ago and I LOVE IT. I've only used it twice: once for making a scalloped potatoes dish for Christmas and last week for slicing veggies for fajitas, and I really liked the results. I find the easiest way to use this is to put a bowl on the counter or in the sink, brace the mandolin against your stomach with your off-hand holding the back of the slicer, and slice away. When I did the potatoes, I had a bowl in the sink with water in it, so the sliced potatoes went straight in to it and never had a chance to oxidize and brown. For the fajitas, I did an onion and three bell peppers, and the uniformity of the slice thickness was really great.
The mandolin is adjustable for cut thickness through a four-sided bar on the back, I believe the thickest slice is up to 3 mm which has been a very good thickness for what I've been using it for.
I would strongly suggest NOT using the included guard/guide for your own safety. Buy yourself a cut-resistant glove or two instead, such as http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cut-resistant+glove&x=0&y=0&sprefix=cut-resistant+glove, this is a trick that I picked up from watching Good Eats and I heartily recommend it. I bought one when I bought my mandolin, and having the ability to properly and securely grip the item being sliced is a big bonus. However, the one that I bought is kind of disappointing, and after two uses, has already worn through in three places and will have to be replaced soon. It's a Microplane glove, I'm not sure which model, but I'll be trying a different brand.
I have no comment on the knife as the store from which I bought it sold the mandolin by itself.
