Cheese Lyre, Cheese Slicer, Stainless Steel Cheese Slicers with Wire, Handheld Butter Cutter Tools for Soft Hard Block Cheese

We love this cheese slicer. very durable.

This is a simple wire cheese cutter. Just like the one we used in the 1950s. If you are looking for flash or state of the art with Hey Siri, compatibility, look for something else. If you want a basic cheese cutter that works every time and cleans easily at a fair cost, this is what you are looking for!

Badly designed, as you grip the handle, it squeezes and the wire goes slack. The wire is welded to the tips of the handle, and after a few uses the wire broke at the weld. A block of wood or plastic inside the handle to prevent the slack might have saved this tool.

Primary purpose for cutting cheese as an accessory to cutting board fabricated in my shop.

If you use this type of tool often as a potter don't buy this one. It breaks fairly easily and there are no replacement wires for it. I've thrown out two now and am shopping for one that has replacement wire. Granted this is not what the tool is made for, but just thought I would alert potters.

Unlike those cheap roller slicers that have cutting wires attached by screws that inevitably loosen, leaving you with a slack wire, the tension of the handle's design ensures the wire remains taught for a smooth end even cut every time.

I got this specifically to quarter hard boiled eggs and it does a great job. No more smearing of yolk, nice clean cuts.

The cheese wire its self worked well and was wide enough to help in breaking down food service sized blocks of cheese. unfortunately the wire broke on its first day of use, after cutting about 10-12 lbs. of semi-soft cheese. While OK for occasional home use, this wire was not up to serious bulk cheese cutting. I was disappointed.
