Solid steel, dependable cheese cutter
This is the second time I've bought this cheese cutter. The first one came apart and became useless. The wire piece fits into two slots and is held by a screw on the other side. After time, the screw got lose and fell out somewhere and got lost. It is a tiny screw. For a while I managed to put the wire into the slots and just hold the cutter so that the pressure is in the direction of the slots. It cut cheese like this for a while. Eventually I got tired of doing that, and I bought another one, a different one. That one had plastic where the wire connected, and that eventually broke. So, I bought the old one again. However, this time I know about the screw holding the wire. It requires a micro Philips screw driver. This time I will check it from time to time to make sure it is screwed in tight.Other than that, I really like this cutter. I bought two of them this time. For $11.39, it is well worth it. These also come each with 3 extra cutting wires. I've already use it on my block of muenster cheese, and it works perfectly. It has screw tighteners for each side to adjust the thickness. I've heard complaints about this, but I don't mind it. I've had those that adjust thickness with just one adjustment knob, and it is a little easier. However, I've had those break on me also. This cutter adjusts both sides real tight for any thickness you might want. I got it to cut some razor thin pieces. It helps to let the cheese soften a little, but it will cut through solid cheese right out of the fridge.Great cheese cutter.
