Even though I occasionally nick myself with my knife (especially my super-sharp chef’s knife…ouch), I don’t think I would want to use one of these. But it occured to me that other people might want to!
For about $10, you get this stainless steel Slicing Guide that will hold the onion (or tomato or other vegetable) securely in place without your fingers needing to be in harm’s way. It also insures that you cut thin even slices in case this is important for the look of a dish. Clever.

Might I suggest a jaccard (sp?) tenderizer to do dual duty? Also sold in such pkaces as Kohl’s under other names for under $10.
Here’s a link to one of them (online of course): http://www.cookware.com/asp/show_detail.asp?sku=JCD1000&refid=FR75-JCD1000
