It has a horizontal blade. I have 2 of them. I got one of them from a mail order place - either Carolyn Wright or Walter Drake and the other I got at some cheapo store. They had a bunch tossed on the counter that they wanted to get rid of. I like to use it for shredding and slicing and I got my moneys' worth so if it ever broke I couldn't say it was a waste - but I sure would miss it!

I think the call those cutters a 'mandolin'. I have an older one from before anyone thought about separating hands from blades. It has a nice sharp knife too. I've been afraid of it taking off my finger tips so maybe I can fashion my own piece of wood or plastic to handle the food with.

One thing I don't like are those old-style mandolins that look so innocent but will remove body parts in a split second! I would rather cut, chop , shred - anything - by hand - rather than use one of those scary contraptions!!!

Oh no, the only real authentic cheesesteak is meat, onions (carmelized!), american cheeze, on an Amarosa roll! :)

I was in Philadelphia recently and was sad that I didn't get the chance to try a cheesesteak. Oh well, next time.
