I wanted to invest no riches in a julienne slicer, so I bought the here. He is good sharp and does what he should. This part, however, is to prevent you cut yourself, I find fairly useless. I for one can not get the vegetables aufzustecken so that it really holds. . But that can also be my fault ;-) Suspected in firmer vegetables like carrots, I do not get out there, so always remain larger off-cuts - even though it's just meant for those. When it comes to carrots and celery, I'm gone over to the crush with my chef and freeze for Bolognese sauce. From a virtue of necessity.
