I didn't have much in the house yesterday, but I used it to slice up an apple. It fell through easily and with a satisfying thunk. The blade is pretty thick all the way out to close to the tip, then tapers down. I was able to cut some paper thin slices with the tip. I plan on making something...

Here are my rectangles for ARM Jiro 180mm Vachon 210mm
