As Biltong and Jerky enthusiasts, this is the slicer we've been dreaming of. Not only is it pleasing on the eye, but it has a smooth, easy cutting action. The blade is sharp and precise, the board is solid, and the catchment tray is magnetic - meaning it's detachable, making this slicer so very easy to clean. You cut to the thickness you like, through the thickness you like, to the size that you like - whether you are cutting Chinese medicinal herbs, vegetables, Jerky, Biltong or hard cheeses, the choice is yours.
