This Cheese Breeze cheese slicer with an unstained Sugar Maple handle and solid brass fittings is handcrafted by Kentucky Spring in Louisville, Kentucky. The cutting wire is especially effective with soft cheeses, but also cuts softer hard cheeses. Works on butter and chocolate, too. For a thick or thin slice of cheese, simply change the angle of the cheese slicer.
The sugar maple wood is hand finished with mineral oil and fitted with solid brass. A seven step sanding process not only makes this cheese slicer handle exceptionally smooth, but also keeps the wood smooth after handwashing. Hand wash only and apply mineral oil occasionally. (Not recommended for dishwashers.)
The straight stainless wire measures 4" between the solid brass posts, and the tension can be adjusted with the exterior brass screw. The sugar maple handle measures 5" x 1-1/4" x 1/4". The cutting wire is made from a straight .020 stainless steel guitar string. Replacement wires are available with instructions for replacement.
These Cheese Breeze cheese slicers (also called cheese cutters) have been designed and crafted from the same sugar maple as the Kentucky Spring Salad Tongs and the Kentucky Spring sandwich spreaders. They are also available in unstained black walnut or wild cherry
