I used a Bron for 30+ years, replaced the blade a couple of times. Then I passed it on to another eG member when I bought a new de Buyer that was easier on my aging joints with the horizontal action.
Now I don't use it all because I no longer make candied ginger in 15 pound batches or slice the big bags of Costco onion to make onion confit in huge batches.
And I haven't made pickles in 20 quart batches and etc., etc., etc.
It lives in its own hard case that holds the extra blades and the regular guard in a large storage bag with an extra long guard, hanging in my storeroom.
I keep meaning to put it on ebay but never seem to get around to it.
Found this. I have more photos but not sure where right now.
