• Safety guard included: Protects your fingers during slicing and helps you work confidently and securely.

• Easy cleaning: Disassembles for cleaning, and although it’s top-rack dishwasher safe on many variations, gentle hand washing is recommended to preserve blade life.

Care Instructions

To ensure your Benriner No. 64 Mandoline remains a reliable kitchen utencil:

• Hand wash recommended: Wash blades and main body gently with warm, soapy water after each use to preserve sharpness and prevent corrosion.

• Dry thoroughly: Always dry all parts completely before storage - moisture can dull blades and affect plastic components over time. 

• Blade safety: Handle blades with care; stainless steel edges are extremely sharp and designed to deliver precision cuts.

• Dishwasher caution: While some sellers indicate top-rack dishwasher safety for certain variants, hand washing is generally best practice for long blade life.

 History of the Brand — Benriner

The name Benriner stands for a heritage of practical ingenuity. Rooted in Japan’s rich tradition of kitchen tool craftsmanship, the brand traces its origins back to the early 1940s when inventor Uyuki Yamamoto conceived his first handheld radish slicer in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This humble mandoline-style slicer proved so effective that by 1945, the company was formally established as Benriner Co., Ltd., its name inspired by the Japanese adjective “benri-na” meaning handy or convenient.

Over the decades, Benriner evolved from simple wooden tools to today’s precision kitchen mandolines - combining ultra-sharp handcrafted steel blades with durable, food-safe materials and ergonomic design. More than 70 years on, Benriner slicers are recognised globally in both professional kitchens and home cooking environments for outstanding reliability, versatility, and performance.
