I have one by SUSI, a Swiss company. It's all cast aluminum. It came
with a plastic cleaning tool to help clean the die of debris. I've had it
for too many years to remember. I haven't used it in ages. I slice and
dice garlic on my butcher top with a Santoku knife. I typically do five
or more cloves in about a minute with no cleanup required. I'm fairly
fast with a knife, but not up to Tyler Florence or Bobby Flay.
