Great cheese slicer
This is the best slicer for semi-soft cheeses like havarti, swiss and cheddar. We like thin, even slices to put on our toast in the morning and this works the best. The oversized, soft handle is non-slip and helps get good leverage on harder cheeses like cheddar.

Eureka! A good, solid cheese slicer! Money well spent!
I have had the WORST luck with wire cheese slicers , regardless of whether they were purchased at the grocery store or gourmet cooking shop. I actually had a $20.00 slicer fall apart with its very first use. I just bought this one a month ago, and though its longevity has yet to be proven, I just had to slice a TON of cheese for a large family Christmas party of 30 people, and was SO glad I bought this when I did! I love the grippy handle, and it made relatively quick work of 6 Sam's Club size blocks of cheese. It worked well on cheddar, monterey jack, colby, colby jack and mozerella. It has a nice weight and feel, and if it's as good as the rest of the Good Grips line, I expect it to last for a very long time.

"cheesy" slicer is more like it...
After using this for a couple of months, the wire has stretched and this slicer has become unusable. Save yourself the trouble and do what I ended up doing - go to Target and buy a nice, heavy slicer with adjustable width and screws to tighten the wire should it stretch. It will set you back less then 10 bucks. When I think of how many thousands of these slicers will end up in the garbage; OXO should be ashamed of themselves for creating a product like this.
