Is a two-dollar pistol equivalent to a four-dollar...

...meat slicer?

I picked this up at an estate sale for 4 bucks.  Not big and fancy, but better than nothing.

The blade is riveted to the drive gear and plastic mechanism.  Does anyone know if it is possible to change blades or have them sharpened?  I haven't cut with it yet, but it seems like it could use a new edge.  Also just curious if anyone has used this slicer and what you think of it.  It is an Oster Choice Kut.

Here's some Q-view from last weekend.  Did a turkey during the day and put a pork butt in for the overnight.  I started it at 5:00 pm and it finished up around 10:00 am.

I didn't get an after of the butt, but this is it going in.  Just finished eating the last of it tonight.

I sorta inherited the same slicer.  Only use it to slice beef or venison for jerky or occasionally cheese and summer sausage.  You got a steal for $4 if it runs at all.  I never had the blade sharpened or really had the need to for what I use it for.  Beef and venison cut best when partially frozen and pushed through slowlllllyyyyy.   It is a b*tch to clean.

I have the same one you have FS, I have used it numorus times and no problems, cleaning is some what a pain but it has to be done.
