Mine is plastic with metal blades; here's the one I have:

"Plus" when I bought it, but I think all that means is that it comes with
all the toys. :-)

I see there's now a deluxe Borner "Prima" V-Slicer with a stainless steel
body; this must be a newer model, as it wasn't available back in '88:

or http://tinyurl.com/4pe3nk I like the idea of sturdy stainless, and a
work bowl to catch the food as it's being sliced is pretty convenient. My
older plastic model does have a notched edge that catches nicely onto a bowl
or pan lip, allowing food to fall neatly into whichever one I'm using.
