Let me guess. The one that makes a non-sharp cut that requires the strength of a bodybuilder and doesn't work half the time?

But, yes, they seem to do a good job overall. Honestly, for a lot of things these days, all you want is a succinct recommendation for something decent while understanding the basis of the recommendation.

I've gone through a few brands of those, Oxo included. They all work great and don't require more strength than a "normal" sharp cut one.

Except they only last about 6-10mo before they stop producing a reliable cut and you have to throw them out.
