Product Description
Shun Pro is widely recognized as kitchen cutlery for the ultimate connoisseur and the new Shun Pro Mandolin is no exception. The Shun Pro Mandolin features, the blade design preferred by professional Japanese chefs - a one sided beveled edge with a hollow-ground back. The single-bevel design means an incredibly sharp edge that's easy to maintain. Further, the hollow-ground back creates an air pocket between the blade and the food, reducing friction and allowing perfectly cut vegetables. This is the ideal tool for swiftly slicing firm fruits and vegetable, as well as producing shoestring, julienne, French fry, and plank fry cuts more quickly and easily than ever. The Shun Pro Mandolin is the ony one that can turn a big two-pound potato into perfect French fries with no additional prep time needed to first cut the potato into smaller pieces. The secret to this mandolin's superior cutting performance is its' Shun Pro blade, the same blade used in premium Shun Pro cutlery. This single-bevel blade design is inspired by the 700 year old yanagiba blade prefered by Japanese chefs for producing the cleanest, most precise slices possible. Keeping your Shun Pro blade sharp is easy too. Simply remove it from the mandolin and resharpen on a whetstone. The cutting blade is VG-10 "super steel" made in Japan and features a single-sided beveled edge with hollow-ground back for superior cutting. This is truly a professional cutting machine offering precision and control not seen in other Mandolins. The platform is designed to be totally adjustable (no preset depth) so you can slice from thick to paper thin.
