Does your product have a sharp piece at the top? The veggeti brand seems to be cutting a lot of folks fingers with this sharp knob at the top.

Not unless you put you finger inside worked well but had about 1-2 inches left on zucchini

Just like Gamegrandma has answered. No it does not have a sharp piece at the top. Unless you reach with your hand inside the cylinder.

It's a giant pencil sharpener .. if you want to sharpen your finger, I am sure it would do a bloody good job! BTW: Love this product!

I think it depends on how hard you press when slicing. I usually can get a thin slice but my hubby can press hard and get a thick slice. It is very sharp.

I have not had that problem. Is it possible you are pushing down on the knife? Do not press on the knife, let the machine do the work.

for me leafy veggies come out really dry Fruit and veggies like cucumbers, not so much. That being said. I love mine. Just make sure to cut stuff up first

The rim on the small container has been rounded. Plastic lid (flat), not sharp. The large container/lid feel flattened. I applied significant pressure with my thumb and thoroughly tested the rims on both, but did not cut myself - so not sharp. Keep in mind that the only product I tested was the one I owned, but so long as the bento container is used for its intended purpose, I would say adults and kids of all ages are safe.

Yea, it works so well that mine got stolen...Just don't swipe it on the course side too much. With approximately 5lbs of pressure on your knife swipe it 3 times on the course and 6 times on the ceramic and you're good. Now, to keep it scary sharp use a honing steal on your knife before each use and your set. I cook for a living so sorry if I elaborated too much.

Hello. We wash all such items at this bagel cutter (and all our good knives) by hand ourselves to make sure there is no food material left in difficult-to-reach areas and no mysterious dishwasher damage. I am a person who worries a bit at doing such things as well, so, I understand your concern... this thing is the meaning of sharp. Yes, it is a matter you can do but do be careful and aware when you do it. The only reason it might be a bit more risky than a plain knife, is the housing lends a disarming sense of safety one needs to watch out for. Best to you.

Hey I just bought this, both edges are sharp. Broad angles, but very very sharp. And for the people saying "Not very sharp" - Take the knife, press down on a finger tip, and slide. $30 says the cut doesn't heal for 2 weeks it's so deep.

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

No, not at all, I use it in my Restaurant, and is still very sharp, still working very good after about 8 months now!

On some models there are "outside" & "inside" trims (knobs). The inside knob will have a hole or slot in the base. The outside knob needs firmly seated, try using the palm of your hand and and striking it.

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.

This is a great slicer!!! BUT you have to be extremely careful with the blade... super, super sharp!!! The blade cover must be removed first - easily done by unscrewing the knob directly behind the blade. Using a phillips screw driver, remove the three screws that hold the blade in place. Keep one hand on the blade as you do this, to prevent it from moving. This is the tricky part... you have to push the blade from behind to pop out and then carefully maneuver it out from under the edges. Never leave the blade unscrewed and unattended!!!
