I don’t use the hand guard because I don’t use the damn mandolin. Really glad I can slice as quickly and consistently with a knife for most tasks, never had a chef push the issue.
No better way for slicing potatoes though sadly.

Blood for the blood god. I have taken an experienced cook, shown him how to use a mandolin, shown him the dangers of the mandolin, shown him exactly how to cut with a guard on a mandolin, pointed out exactly where and how he will cut himself if he does it any other way on a mandolin, then watched him cut himself within sixty seconds. God how I love those things

Mandolins demand blood sacrifices to be used efficiently.
But jokes aside, if you’re not making paper thin cuts there is no point in using a mandolin. Just use a knife. I don’t know anyone that’s used a mandolin before that hasn’t cut themselves on it.
