Overview

A handheld crinkle cutter knife from Joie with a wavy stainless steel blade, sold in one of three colors, purple, red or lime green, assigned at random. It is built for cutting potatoes and vegetables into a wavy, crinkle-cut edge, not a mandoline-style slicing board.

Despite where this listing gets filed, it is a single hand knife with a fixed wavy blade rather than a mandoline with an adjustable slicing surface, so anyone expecting a mandoline's uniform thin slices should look elsewhere. Joie markets it partly as a first knife for kids to help with food prep, pointing to the easy-grip handle rather than a sharp cutting edge. Color is assigned at random rather than chosen at checkout.

  • Wavy stainless steel blade for crinkle cuts
  • Kid-friendly easy-grip handle
  • Top-rack dishwasher safe, BPA free
  • Ships in purple, red or lime green at random

Who it's for

Home cooks who want crinkle-cut fries or wavy vegetable edges from a simple hand tool, and parents looking for a kid-friendly first cutting tool. Not a substitute for a mandoline if uniform thin slices are the goal.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Simple wavy blade for crinkle-cut fries and vegetables
  • Easy-grip handle sized for kids to use
  • Stainless steel blade, top-rack dishwasher safe
What to check first
  • Fixed blade, not an adjustable mandoline despite the category listing
  • Color arrives at random, not selectable

Performance notes

The wavy stainless steel blade cuts a crinkle pattern into potatoes, carrots and similar vegetables in a single pass, with the easy-grip handle sized for a child's hand as much as an adult's. It is a fixed-blade hand tool rather than an adjustable slicer, so cut thickness depends on hand pressure rather than a dial. The blade is stainless steel and listed as top-rack dishwasher safe and BPA free.
