Great question I'd like to hear that before I think about going after one. But earlier in the thread I posted a link to one that was made on a salt water site and I'm trying to get a friend to make me one.
Zonker cutter and cutting

Ok going to try and post some pic's of the cutters.
Ok, the white cutter has obvious larger blades and they are .040" thick VS the pink one that are only .015" thick. I think the larger ones would stay sharper longer as they seemed to be sharper to begin with when I got it. I think you could re-sharpen them although it may take a bit of effort, like some 600g sandpaper glued to a popsicle stick. I don't want to screw these up as they are the ones used in the kitchen.
As a nube I often thought that it would be nice to have some strips a bit wider than the ones you buy, like in the 1/4" range. I don't know if that's something that would be usable or not as I'm just starting out and probably making my jigs too large. Hope these pic's clear things up a bit. I have an idea for a rotary cutter but just need to get some time to work on it. Trying to get field work done before the snowballs hit me in the butt.

I like the small one - but with those longer blades I'd like to see how they cut. The longer the blade when you cut strips the more mess you have because you actually start cutting the fur off.
