I didn't realize I was getting a ceramic blade, but it seems very sharp. A little research indicated that ceramic stays sharper than steel, if you take care of it. I used this to create thin potato slices for making kettle chips. Thickness setting 1 is very thin, like Lays potato chips (in the yellow bag) thickness. I ended up using setting 2, which is about 1/16 in thick to make the kettle chips. It comes with a food holder, but it didn't seem very useful. I decided to order a pair of level 5 cut-proof, slice-proof gloves to protect my fingers. There is a square adjustment bar on back of the slicer that provides four slice thicknesses. I wish it had a dial/knob on the side to rotate the bar easier. 0.55 mm (0.022 in) 1.3 mm (0.051 in, ~1/16") 2.0 mm (0.079 in) 3.0 mm (0.118 in, ~1/8") The chips sliced very well and consistent. You do have to press down a bit because the adjuster bar on the back acts as a back-stop for the thickness more than it does actually setting the thickness. I found that I needed to rotate the potato 90 degrees each slice to keep it from getting thinner on the leading edge. Review: Kyocera mandoline vs. Sack of Potatoes - I bought this to replace a KitchenAid mandoline that was lost when I moved. My old slicer was much "fancier" and I wasn't sure what to expect from such a simple device. So I put it to the test on 50 lbs of potatoes. Yes that's right, Five Zero, and yes I know I'm crazy. My potatoes always sprout and I got tired of throwing out food, so I started dehydrating them so that I can use them as slow as I want and not worry about them going bad. I own a Kyocera peeler and love it, so I peeled the potatoes with that before slicing. I didn't really worry about getting all the skin off so the slicer did have to deal with some potato skin. I was very happy with the performance of the slicer, the potato went over the blade effortlessly and didn't hang up on it at all like I remember my steel-bladed slicer doing. The plastic blade guard/guide is ok, I never really like them but it is the only way to keep your fingers away from the blade when the item being sliced gets smaller. I wished the teeth on it were either a little sharper or longer, but it worked. The blade is very, very sharp. Use with caution, use the guard, and don't fret about losing that last little piece off the end, it's not worth chopping your fingers up just to get one more slice of potato! My only (minor) dissatisfaction with this slicer is that I wish it had more range in the adjustment of the slice thickness. The thickest slice came out close to 1/12 of an inch, considerably thinner than the 1/8" setting on my previous mandoline. So my potato slices were thinner than I was used to but I compensated for that by reducing the blanching time a bit and all was well. This slicer is a terrific deal on an excellent quality product, I know it will be hanging on my kitchen wall near to hand for many years. ## Features - Ergonomic, safe soft grip texture for total control to make even, straight slices of fruits and vegetables. - Ultra-sharp, advanced ceramic blades that will stay sharper up to 10x longer than metal blades - Lightweight and easy to clean, the ceramic blades will not brown nor transfer any metallic taste to food - Includes handguard and easy to use dial on back of slicer provides four slice thicknesses: 0. 55mm, 1. 3mm, 2. 0mm, 3. 0mm - Kyocera advanced Ceramic cutlery and kitchen tool products are fully to be free of defects in material and Craftsmanship ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07QHM8F6S | | Additional Features | Soft Grip | | Best Sellers Rank | #35,677 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #107 in Mandolines | | Blade Material Type | Ceramic | | Blade Shape | V Shape | | BladeLength | 10 Inches | | Brand | KYOCERA | | Brand Name | KYOCERA | | Color | Black (Soft Grip) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 4,006 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04960664877904 | | Included Components | handguard, mandoline slicer | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.7"L x 4.6"W x 2"H | | Item Type Name | Soft Grip Kitchen Mandoline Slicer | | Item Weight | 4.59 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Kyocera | | Manufacturer Part Number | 150919 | | Material | Ceramic | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Model Number | 150919 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Dishwasher Safe | | Product Dimensions | 12.7"L x 4.6"W x 2"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Vegetable | | Special Feature | Soft Grip | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KYOCERA - **Product Dimensions:** 12.7"L x 4.6"W x 2"H - **Material:** Ceramic - **Color:** Black (Soft Grip) - **Special Feature:** Soft Grip - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Vegetable - **Product Care Instructions:** Dishwasher Safe - **Blade Material:** Ceramic - **Item Weight:** 4.59 Ounces - **Blade Length:** 10 Inches ## Images ![CSN-252BK EXP Soft Grip Kitchen Mandoline Slicer, One, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SR98dW5yL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How wide is the cutting area ?

It's sharp as the day I got it, for one, and it's very easy to clean. You can just rinse it off when you're done, and all the veggie schnibbles fall right off. There's nowhere for them to hide, and the all-plastic and ceramic design never rusts or gets nasty so I don;t even bother drying it off. I just rinse, shake, and set it on the rack to dry. I cut my fingertip once when I first got the slicer. Just because the white ceramic blade looks like plastic doesn't mean it is! It's super sharp ceramic. Respect that blade. I have one minor complaint and one slightly negative observation. My complaint is that I wish this Kyocera mandolin had a setting thicker than 3 mm. That might be standard, I'm not sure. 3mm is awfully thin for salad-topping cucumbers, for example. Secondly, I'm not complaining since it's perfectly reasonable for the price, but note that this tool isn't "restaurant grade." It's light and inexpensive and compact, but it's also feels a little flimsy. I don't think it could handle a huge pile on onions and carrots every day. For me, though, it's an awfully good product, especially for the price. *** Update *** Three years later and this thing seems as sharp as ever. I have never used it on anything but veggies, and it has stayed razor sharp. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kyocera CSN-252BK EXP Soft Grip Kitchen Mandoline Slicer, One, Black - NoCry Premium Cut Resistant Gloves Food Grade β€” Level 5 Protection; Ambidextrous; Machine Washable; Superior Comfort and Dexterity; Lightweight; Complimentary eBook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/131483390-csn-252bk-exp-soft-grip-kitchen-mandoline-slicer-one-black](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/131483390-csn-252bk-exp-soft-grip-kitchen-mandoline-slicer-one-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
