Often the first question we hear is "How often do the blades need to be sharpened or replaced?". Well in 6 years, we have only had a customer replace the same size blade ONCE. (An employee dropped them on the corner of a table.) Our blades are made of quality stainless steel and are dishwasher safe. Not like others we have seen, with gray, chipped mystery metal we call Chinesesium. That being said, we do offer additional blades in case a customer want to cut different thicknesses. (or drops one on the corner of a table)
Typically 8mm is the ideal blade for Mexican restaurants. Cuts skirt steak into fajitas in 1 cut, while chunks of meat takes 2. Then drop it through 2 more times for taco meat.
If you do not sell fajitas and only want taco meat, then the 5mm is for you. Just drop it through 3 times and your done. (a 4th if you want it finer) However the 5mm is too thin for fajitas.
Want thicker fajitas? We have 10mm blades for you. Although these are usually too thick for taco meat, and most get a 2nd blade for that.
Need a custom thickness? Just let us know.
We made a chart showing how you can hold coins between your fingers to visualize the thickness.
