This modern cheese slicer is made from 18/10 stainless steel and given a satin finish. Instead of the single wire utilized by most cheese slicers, this one has a sharp, solid stainless steel blade for cutting through a variety of cheeses. The 7 x 5.25-in. base is perfectly sized to hold a standard block of cheese while the 7.75-in. long curved handle offers substantial leverage and a comfortable grip. On the bottom of the cheese slicer are four non-skid grips to prevent slipping. Dishwasher-safe.
