do you use a cheese slice?

i have just prepared a cheese toastie for brunch.
unless i am grating cheese, i always use a cheese slice to cut cheese, rather than use a knife. neither Oh and family nor my last 2 groups of flatmates had ever heard of or used a cheese slice before - they all use a knife.
i wouldnt be without my cheese slice. it ensures nice, thin even slices of cheese, which is fab. not only does the cheese last longer because you tend to use less (and you can guage more accurately how much you will need, therfore there is much less wastage), but as the slices are thinner it is inevitably going to be better for you.
surely i cant be the only person in the one who knows what one is and uses one?

I've got one, use it every day. My last one broke and I had trouble finding a new one - until them I thought everyone used one!0

We use one. It's a much loved little gadget bought in Holland nearly 20 years ago. Very, very useful for when you want to 'coat' the top of a dish with a thin layer of cheese.
I also use a vegetable peeler to get slices off a parmesan wedge. Much easier than trying to grate it.Good, clean fun....MFW #11 2015 £7657 / £8880

Funnily enough, I always use one after seeing one used for the first time, years ago, by my dutch friend. I only like cheese in sandwiches if it's thinly sliced.de do-do-do, de dar-dar-dar

My girlfriend is a veggie and lives off Cheese. She couldn't live without a cheese slice and i'd never heard of one until I met her. Now I couldn't live without one either!
As you say, nice thin, even slices = more healthy, less waste / mess and cheaper!

Definitely - got my first one in Norway in 1982 and my Mum still uses it.The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.0

My Mum is Dutch and we have always used a cheese slice - for years I thought everybody else had them too, was very surprised to find out they don't! Ours is part of a canteen of cutlery bought in Holland by my grandparents for my Mum's wedding present in 1966. It still works perfectly and we use it nearly every day.Marsh Samphire0

Oh yes I absolutely love my cheese slice, got it when I was a student and lived off cheese toasties!Me debt free thanks to MSE :T0

I rediscovered mine the other day, because I decided that "cheese paring" (that old fashioned expression meaning money saving) might be a good thing to try!
I have now moved it from the sideboard to the kitchen drawer, and intend to make use of it whenever I remember, until hopefully it becomes a habit!
Can't remember where I got mine from, but am worried by the poster who said that theirs broke - oh dear, I hope replacements are available should that fate befall mine! I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe
