Last verified June 7, 2026 by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team

The Benriner Super Slicer is the original Japanese mandoline that became the home cook's introduction to professional level vegetable slicing in the 1980s. The flat plastic body holds a single razor sharp Japanese stainless steel blade with the cutting edge flush to the platform, plus three swap in julienne combs (fine, medium, thick). r/AskCulinary, r/cookingforbeginners, and r/Cooking all surface the Benriner as the consensus mandoline, Wirecutter has had it as a recommendation continuously since 2015. Adjustable thickness from paper thin (transparent) to ~6mm slices. The blade is replaceable; the rest of the body lasts indefinitely. CAUTION: like all mandolines, the blade is more dangerous than a chef's knife, always use the included finger guard or a cut resistant glove.
