Welp. There's a kitchen tool I won't be buying...

Got bit twice by a mandoline.
First time I was using the ruffle blade edge of a French mandoline to cut gaufrette potatoes when the potato slipped. Had a really cool wavy scar on the palm of my thumb for a couple of weeks to remind me.
Second time was using a Japanese mandoline to julienne zucchini. It slipped out my hand and I received 10-11 parallel cuts on the palm of my hand.
Tried to Google "mandoline injuries" for a visual reference but, all the pictures were of finger tips and thumbs.

I raked my thumb over the waffle blade on mine a few years ago and I had a deep perfect grid for a month. It was two tic tac toe boards and was so clean and deep it took about a minute to start bleeding. But when it did it’s the closest I’ve come to passing out.
But worse than the actual cut was the reopening of the whole wound for about two weeks when I would hit my thumb on something.

My wife did it past year just as I was about to drop some steaks in the sous vide bath for my first use.
After the last 5 minutes to get up to temp, I dropped them and we went to the hospital.
7 stitches on her finger. The wound was so gnarly my dad's wife had to come over to help her clean and reapply bandages. It made me weak.

Years ago I wanted one so my wife got me on as a Christmas gift.
I learned real quick that I really did NOT want one.

was doing heads of red cabbage for a large coleslaw when the tip of my finger got sliced off...about 1/4inch!
worst thing, we couldnt find it and had to throw out the bowl of cabbage because we were scared somebody would eat it
