does this slicer come with the finger guard?

No, but it can be purchased separately. http://www.simplygoodstuff.com/safety_holder.html - about $7, plus whatever shipping is.

No and they should change the picture because now I have dangerous slicer that my wife bought.

Unfortunately there is no any type of guard comes with this slicer. But I like it anyway.

Description reads the guard is sold separately. Owners of this item often were first owners of the Borner Mandoline which already has the guard, so selling this item as an addition without another guard makes sense. However, the guard is available on Amazon.

You have to purchase the finger guard separately, that is why I returned the item. It probably works great, but was very disappointed that it didn't come with one.

No, it just has the white plastic box shown in the photo, in which you place the cabbage. If I remember correctly, it didn't come with a pusher. I wear a cutting glove and use another pusher I have for a smaller mandoline, but the best bet is just to back off and not try to slice that last hunk of cabbage. This thing makes short work of the job and produces perfect strings for sauerkraut. The company is a bunch of jerks, though....I tried to get a better explanation of their faulty instructions for adjusting the gizmo and they just laughed at me.Caveat emptor.

Check the second picture from top to bottom... comes with a hand/finger guard w/knob. It's an amazing product..!

No, and it makes it tricky touse, for fear of slicing more than just veggies. At least mine did not have a slicer guard.

I've not had mine very long and have only used it once...and it does slice...the slicing looks like a slinky (spirally) ...lol

When I purchased it, it did include the potatoe peeler. However the knife is worth it. I use it every day.

Yes, but I find I don't need a slicing guide with this knife. It is so easy to get uniform slices.

Yes I ordered this last year for my mom for Christmas and it came with a sleeve. Best brand for pizza cutters and I've tried a lot of different ones.

It comes with a guard. If you want to cut, you can put on a cutoff wheel instead of a grinding wheel.

It would work pretty well but you might want to consider a cut resistant glove if you want the best results as the guard that comes with the slicer is a nice feature to keep fingers away from the blade but not that great at holding together things that want to fall apart when slicing like cabbage. I personally recommend a glove to anyone using it as the blades are very sharp and while I haven't hurt myself bad with I did touch the blade once enough to get a slight cut.

You don't need to but I do because I want to keep my fingertips and I find the glove makes it easier to hold onto whatever you're slicing. It comes with a food holder/guard but I find I like to wear the glove (not included) better.

I use when use a mandolin slicer, they won't protect you from jab with sharp knife but normal kitchen duties they will protect your hand

No, and I wish it did....mine are still sitting in the box they came in.... I've looked for a knife block too, with no success.

No - The slicing and coring tool is an integrated stainless steel piece. Only the handle is removable via releasing two buttons to facilitate cleaning.

No, this just makes slices, however I did see one along the way (more $$) that does the julieene. If Good Grips makes it and if it is even half as good as the one I bought, it should be a winner.

It comes with a small container that safely holds all of the blades. In addition there is a safety mechanism that can be placed on the slicer when not in use to avoid cutting injuries. The storage container does not attach to the slicer. The guard works well, it does have pins to hold the veggies in place. Be sure to press down firmly when cutting making sure to cut every bit of your fruit or veggie,
