Looks like there's a little leglet at the "rear end", that might catch the
rim. Meanwhile, I'm not big on plastic, either. And this would only be
$80 - exactly my starting target at BB&B, with a ubiquitous (I have over
20 in my car) 20-percent-off coupons. It also seems to me like a V or at
least slanted blade would be more efficient; I note that the Cuisinart and
Le Buyer units I looked at had straight-and-straight-across blades. At
this point, I think I'm heading in the Borner Prima direction.
