Designed for use over a cutting surface or bowl, this mandoline by Shun makes it easy to cut julienne slices, make French fries or shoestring potatoes, and more. As part of Shun's Pro line, the mandoline provides a VG-10 super steel cutting blade, which can be easily resharpened on a whetstone as needed. The unit's high-quality blade offers a one-sided beveled edge with a hollow ground back, which creates an air pocket between the blade and the food for reduced friction, helping to prevent food from sticking to the blade. In addition, the thoughtfully constructed mandoline's food carriage comes attached to the guide rail for peace of mind, while its removable blade allows for safe storage. Other highlights include heavy-gauge stainless-steel housing for stability, ebony black PakkaWood feet that can be removed when storing or cleaning, and a main deck that can safely go in the dishwasher for thorough cleanup from one use to the next. Accessories include four blades and a blade storage case. Blades consist of a VG-10 slicing blade, a 1/8-inch shoestring blade, a 1/4-inch julienne blade, and a 3/8-inch French fry blade. The mandoline measures approximately 10-2/5 by 8-1/2 by 10-1/2 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
The Shun Pro Mandoline features the 16-degree, single-bevel blade design inspired by the 700-year-old Japanese Yanagiba blade. This blade is preferred by Japanese chefs for producing the cleanest, most precise slices possible. Made from the same high-quality VG-10 steel as the Shun Pro knives, the hollow-ground back of the blade creates an air pocket between the blade and the food, reducing friction and allowing for an easy glide pattern during use. This is the only mandoline on the market with a main blade that can be removed and resharpened, making it the only product of its kind. The food carriage is designed for safety, with a handle which keeps hands away from the blade at all times.
