This Ripple Gourmet 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. If you slice with a back and forth sideways motion, you can get a slice that looks like a Ruffles potato chip! For a thick or thin slice of cheese, simply change the angle of the cheese slicer.
The 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 stainless spiral wire measures 4" between the solid brass posts, and the tension can be adjusted with the exterior brass screw. The black walnut handle measures 5" x 2-3/8" x 1/2". The spiral cutting wire is made from a stainless steel guitar string. Spiral replacement wires are available with instructions for replacement. A straight .020 guitar string will also work.
These Ripple Gourmet Cheese Slicers (also called cheese cutters) have been designed and crafted from the same black walnut as the Kentucky Spring Salad Tongs and the Kentucky Spring sandwich spreaders. They are also available in unstained black walnut or wild cherry.
