Bought a $120 Japanese mandoline for my new gig and it's already in the trash.

The blade guard was a joke and I took a chunk out of my thumb on the first onion. What's a safer brand you all actually trust for high volume?

Ouch, that's brutal. I read a kitchen safety thing that said the guard is non-negotiable with those things. For real volume, I've heard the stainless steel ones with the big hand guards are the only way to go.

Yeah, that "non-negotiable" part is no joke.

Buying the cheap one without the guard is like playing kitchen roulette with your fingertips. Learned that one the hard way after a very tense trip to urgent care. Some lessons are better learned through other people's mistakes.
