Quality Item!
Love-love-love this cheese slicer!!I’ve had a few other slicers, that were of far lesser quality. THIS one is the knight of slicers. Strong, sturdy and it also holds a level of nostalgia for me. We had a similar one when I was a kid. You can adjust the thickness, and it came with some extra wire…I totally recommend and would buy another one, if I ever needed to.

Good quality, sturdy, durable and adjustable. I expect this to last a lifetime.

Sturdy, beautiful, pretty functional
This product is nicely molded and finished with no mold or machining marks or voids. The finish is beautifully polished and doesn't easily stain. I have only had it a short while so can't speak to its long-term qualities.The mounted components seem to be of a quality brass-type material with good finish and good fit.It comes with a spare wire with attachments for mounting should you break the original. I have no reason to believe it would brake easily as it seems to be quite sturdy, but its nice to have a backup.I have only a couple complaints1. The wire is mounted fairly far back from the tip. This means that the cut is restricted in depth because the tips restrict you to a somewhat shallow angle. I'd say max slice thickness is perhaps 3/16" (2.5mm) I'd like sometimes to use it to cut a slab into long thick sticks (at least 1/4 - 3/8 thickness) or to, by cross-slicing, make cubes. The tips also interfere if the cheese slab is large, forcing you to work on angles at the corners or to cut the slab up with a knife into narrower pieces.2. The wire is mounted by custom machined or stamped brass rods that drop into notches on the handle. This is sort of convenient, but my old one used just the tip screws. This allowed both using bulk piano wire and easily changing wire gauge if you like, rather than using a custom part. My old one had the wire-mount screws at the tip of the fork so the wire was able to use at a right or even obtuse angle. Unfortunately the old one was cast aluminum and not even close to as nice looking. No matter since somehow, during moves, I've lost it anyways.. lol3. The slice thickness adjustment is rather limited as wellAll in all though, it's a beautifully done piece I'd think even the snootiest chef could not mind having in their kitchen.The faults are sort of picky on my part, and I'd generally recommend this to others. It's a very reasonable priced and nicely finished item.

So good, you'll wish you had more cheese around...
You may think all cheese slicers are alike, but then you've not used the Bellemain. First thing you notice is the lovely heft of the finely crafted handle. It's not lightweight, throwaway item, this one will be part of your culinary pursuits for a long time because you will want to use it often.Unfortunately, we're used to cheap, disposable things, so when we find an item that stands out for it's honest simplicity, it makes sense to tell others about it, and this is one of those times!You may not find yourself contemplating the benefits, merits, or aesthetics of cheese slicers very often. You may look on this as a simple tool, but when you pick it up, when you use it, you will feel differently about the experience. No longer are you just slicing, you may imagine yourself a maitre fromager or formaggiaio, carefully hewing the cheese from the block or wheel, even if you're simply making slices for your burger or salad.You may not consider the value of the slicer's weight until you feel how it benefits each cut. You may not even consider why you never thought to look for a slicer with knurled knobs on the thickness adjustments, if you're like me, you will wonder how you got along without them.I know it's just a cheese slicer. I know it COULD be boring, but it isn't. It's easy to use, easy to clean, easy to see that Bellemain took time to make a tool that people will want to use, that makes the job easier, that makes you wish you had bought that extra cheese while you were out, just so you could use the slicer again and smile about how smart you were to buy such a reasonably priced, well designed, simply functional item.

Good quality cheese slicer.
This cheese cutter is very good quality. It comes with an extra blade. The roller is heavy to make slicing easy. It is adjustable to make thin or thick slices of cheese.

Screw holding wire consistently comes undone
Great working and wire is sharp, all good except screw keeps working itself loose.

Heavy Duty Slicer
So far I have cut all types of cheese big blocks of cheddar, creamy Havarti, Swiss cheese from a wheel and none were a problem. Cut through them like butter. Nice feel in your hand not flimsy. Comes with extra wire plus the slicer is adjustable with quality adjustment screws. I highly recommend. For such a high quality slicer I think you will find the price perfect for what you get.
