WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

Its price is supported by Microplane's photo-etched blade process and a well-executed infinity dial, not a large accessory count. Independent testing found even cuts on delicate food and retained sharpness.

MATERIALS

Photo-etching produces a very keen cutting edge that slices rather than crushes delicate foods.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Slim, clean and pleasingly direct: soft-touch handle, non-slip foot and bowl anchors make a compact tool feel controlled. It is prettier and less cluttered than most low-price V-slicers.

LONGEVITY

The etched stainless blade and sturdy plastic body should give long domestic service if hand-washed; this is not a user-sharpenable or blade-replacement system.
