Sample, not realwhite one is the best colour
Got the white pair because it matches everything else in the kitchen. Two in the pack means one lives in the drawer and one in the utensil pot.

Work along
After a few slices, ease the holder back and carry on to the far end.

Holder, claw grip or a fork?
The claw grip is what chefs learn, and it takes practice. The holder gets a nervous cook the same result on day one, and it keeps hold of the last stub that fingers can't.

Questions
Anything firm enough to stay on the prongs: tomatoes, potatoes, lemons, cucumber, a block of cheese. Very soft fruit such as a ripe peach will tear.
They're pointed so they go into a raw onion easily. Keep the points facing away from your hand when you put it in a drawer.
Ordinary onions, tomatoes, potatoes and lemons are fine. A small shallot or a cherry tomato can split as the prongs go in, so slice those by hand or halve them first and lay the flat side down.
Keep one for raw onion and garlic and one for fruit and cheese, so flavours don't cross over. Both holders in a pack are the same colour.
The supplier doesn't say, so we would wash it by hand. A quick rinse straight after slicing is all it needs, and the handle and steel prongs dry in a few minutes on the rack.

Sample, not realWorks, a bit pointy in the drawer
Does a great job on onions and tomatoes. The prongs are pointed so I store it points down in the drawer, which is what the instructions suggest anyway. Wish it came with a little cover.

Saturday night gin and tonics just got a lot tidier. Lemon slices all the same size and no more chasing the last bit round the board.

Sample, not realFrench onion soup night
Slicing four onions for French onion soup used to make me dread it. Push in the prongs, slice between them, and the whole job was done before my eyes started to water.

Sample, not realCooking class favourite
Brought a pair to our community cooking class and the instructor asked where they came from. We all tried them on onions and potatoes. Everyone wanted a go and I've been asked to bring them again.

Sample, not realBrilliant on a block of cheese
Bought it for onions but the thing I use it for most is a block of cheddar. Push it into the end of the block and you get thin, even slices for toasties without the cheese breaking up. Also good on a lemon for drinks. The gaps between the prongs basically decide the thickness for you, which suits me because I'm hopeless at judging it by eye.
