Title: Nice slicer if you are careful
Product review: We've been using this Norpro slicer guide for just over a year now. It's very attractive, makes great uniform slices, and will accommodate large dimension loaves. I can recommend it with 2 provisos:1. Use a minimum 10" slicing knife, 12" would be better. Any shorter knife would tend to slip out of the acrylic guide slot during the cutting stroke. By using a long knife, and being careful during the cutting stroke, we have not broken any of the acrylic guides during a year's worth of usage.2. Add your own thin wood cutting board/slats on top of their existing 'crumb catcher' slatted insert. We started out using the cutting surface as-is, and noticed the notches being cut into the wood. (I just rummaged around in the garage and found 3 leftover thin wood slats that fit nicely)So, after a year's worth of slicing many, many loaves, our Norpro Slicer/Guide is still in great shape. Just be careful!
