It's really really sharp! It came out of the mailbox like this:  There's a small amount of what appears to be dried blood on it. Not the best packaging job. | ||

The cake is a lie! |
 I bet it would also chop through a meat filled boot too. | |||

Well that doesn't look safe. | |||

It very well may have, there's a small amount of dried red matter smeared on it, visible in the pic. I think we're gonna wash it, then boil it. I guess being a mail handler can have its hazards. | |||

Reminds me of the cuisinart brand mandolin slicer that I used to own. I never cut myself using it, but I cut myself disassembling it, hand washing it, putting it in the dishwasher, and taking it out of the dishwasher. I couldn't be trusted around it so I threw it in the garbage. I have the knife skills so I don't need a mandolin slicer, and even better I go many, many years in between cutting myself with a kitchen knife.

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
Just another example for safe packaging...I’ve often bitched about Amazon’s trend of over doing their packing on shipments...but no more ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

I read your title and instantly thought “those things are sharp” I insist that the one in our house stays wrapped in aluminum foil when not in use. | |||

I cut myself taking my replacement blade out of the packaging, but I feel like someone else's blood on it would be worse. SIGforum's triple minority "It can't rain all the time." - Eric Draven | |||

They had a blade recall a few years ago and sent out replacement blades to everyone affected. Mine arrived the same way - minus the bonus blood. | |||

I would wash it in hot soapy water and then soak it in 10% bleach solution for 30 minutes. Then wash again. I'm worried that boiling it 1) will ruin it or 2) not be protective against hepatitis if done for less than 30 minutes. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

I "inherited" my wife's when she passed away and I refuse to use it. Hared cleaning the thing after the use and the blades were too sharp. | |||

Yes, I was pretty surprised at how sharp it was. About like a new Spyderco. I really hope it wasn't my local mail girl that got bit. She's really nice and always treats us good. | |||

I'd contact Amazon, send them pics if possible, then trash it, and have them send another one. I know it can be sanitized but I'd just never be able to use it. Ugh! | |||

The blades are offset. The blade on one side is about a half inch higher than the other side, so stuff bounces around while getting chopped up.  | |||
