I want to find a new tool for turning tacos without a dull rounded end. Has anyone used it for that?

It depends on the size and amount of things stuff inside your taco. If you're just turning shells then I'm sure these would be adequate. However, they would not lift much weight because they are a bit long.

I don't think it would work well for that at all, it doesn't open very wide.

It has not been an issue at all for me. The bottom edges--where the goods pour out--are not rounded, but neither are they what I would consider sharp. Hope this helps!

I just noticed the Persona Toolworx "straight edge" toenail clipper, here on Amazon, has a slightly convex cutting edge, according to reviews. Like you, that is what I am looking for.

I first used a whetstone,didn't work very well. Then I tried a premise sharpener. Also didn't work well. Since the metal is so thick and heavy, several folds, I tried a grinder. Worked like a charm!!

I do lot's of chilli on the stove top and since the burners are round, I went w/ the round base model. If you're going to do casserole in the oven, perhaps a oval model would work well.

No, Soyderco made this only in a straight edge. Its Spyderco's first flipper, a must have. Grest rrgonomucs and will be a collector.....

I too bought one. Pleased with the quality, but not with the shortness of the blade. Way too hard to sharpen and I have tried everything but an electric kitchen sharpener. I guess it is only good for a short stab and not so much for cutting.

I haven't tried it, but seems like a good idea. This has been a very useful tool. I use it a lot to slice eggs, mushrooms, and strawberries. Saves a lot of time!

I have one and bought one for my Father in law, both of us have used them regularly and never had any issues. They work really well in irregular corners and to be able to make mitre cuts that match. If you are having problems then you need to slow down and read instructions or go to you tube, my bet there is a video there of how to use these. I happen to think these are the best for what they are for that you can buy!

I broiled a bone-in ribeye to perfection, and convection baked enchiladas in mine successfully. I havent had it long enough to try everything, but nothing has turned out poorly yet.

I haven't used this model, it was a gift...but the previous model called a Happy Bwby Food Grinder, left little to nothing when the plunger reached the blade. If you are doing really tough, dry meat, you might have a little problem. I chopped any meats us tiny and incorporated with a vegetable.

I have not actually used the beater this way, but the attachments are secure when I use them for anything else. I think it would work well to make your sauce.

weird design ....works well cuts better then most dead center but tedious to use...good luck

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

I concur with all other replies. Depress the black top gently and twist to release. Simply press to dice. I find it to best for garlic and herbs. Honestly, it doesn't compare to a mini Cuisinart, but it is a fraction if the price. I've also used a $10 mini proctor silex electric chopper with excellent results.

I am not a southpaw, and I've never has that problem. On the other hand, I don't recommend using a breadknife for slicing vegetables either. Instead, why not look at a santuko 7" like the ones made by/for Calphalon, or by Messermeister, or any of a number of other makers.

I did a search on Amazon and came up with several choices. I picked the stainless steel ones with the sharp prongs. The prongs that came with the rotisserie are rather dull.
