Straight blade or V blade? I am totally confused and have been dallying about buying one because I dont really know what I should be looking for. Could some with a mandoline please point out advantages and disadvantages and give their recommendations of brand. There are quite a few brands out there

Don't buy one of the green slicer things if they are cheap. The expensive one is great but the copy ones are as blunt as! and a waste of money. I guess as usual you get what you pay for!

Your reply leads me to another question. What happens when it gets blunt? Is that the end of them or can they be sharpened?

I have a 20year old Bamix v shaped slicer. Has been used commercially and has NEVER needed sharpening. Has sharpened my finder on a few occasions though!

There is no difference other than appearance.

I've had mine around 20 years too, used most days, and still as sharp as the day I bought it.
