Shredded my knuckles pretty good with the julienne attachment during the first week of moving from dish to the line

Thanks for the horror stories. I need to read these from time to time to remind me why should NEVER buy a mandoline.

I’m always careful with a mandoline.
But I have managed to take a bit of my thumb off with a chef knife a few times.

Oyster knife though...I've put one of those bad boys about halfway into my palm.
Got a nice permanent scar on my forearm from one of these bad boys slipping off the shell.

My sister. Very tip of one of her fingers cut off.

My thumb is flat on one side.
No stitches, just a shite ton of quick clot

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.

My sister cut the tip of her finger off. I will never own one because I have cut myself too often with a regular knife and my husband cut himself cleaning the ninja blender.

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.

Not saying you should never buy one
They're very useful tools. But for frick sake don't try to look like the guy on some infomercial where you just thin sliced an onion into a million pieces in 5 seconds. Find a good quality one and use the guard as intended. It's not meant to be a quick piece of equipment for the average home chef but it does allow you the ability to make precise cuts if done carefully and slow as home chefs should do. Use it carefully and slowly and it could be your friend depending on what you're trying to accomplish.
All that being said with my original debacle I did eventually buy another one and use it with some success and safety. I just didn't use it that often.

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
