GoFoBroke04-13-2009 10:59 PM@pioneer14: uhh, you have to realize that when working with knives and sharp objects, even the slightest mistakes can lead to unhappy times. Meaning that the product should be fool proof, in the sense that it is really hard to hurt yourself with it. This seems completely dangerous... And slightly impractical for non-cucumber shaped veggies.

Hobbie321104-13-2009 10:29 PMIt looks like a good idea, but in retrospect you proly should have put a guard around the knife... Something to prevent hand chopping like two switches on either side so both hands are used preventing any finger death...
