Know before you buy
While the tempered stainless steel wire is durable, it is best suited for semi-soft to medium-hard cheeses. For extremely hard, aged cheeses, you may find a dedicated cheese knife or plane provides better control.
The wire is designed for durability, but it is not intended to be user-replaceable. If the wire snaps, the unit will need to be replaced.
Yes, the ergonomic handle design is symmetrical and comfortable, making it equally effective and easy to use regardless of your dominant hand.
Yes, this slicer is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the longevity of the stainless steel wire and the finish of the handle, hand washing is often recommended.
The cutting wire is 4 inches long, which is ideal for standard blocks of cheddar, gouda, or other common cheese sizes you would find at the grocery store.
