I use my old faithfull Kitchen Devil's knife (over 20 years old now) - they could have split the atom years earlier if they'd used one of these...

Well I haven't got one and I don't even know what one is


.... so I'm off to sit in a corner 'all by myself' and sulk!


*harumph!*



( oooh, hang on....... :idea: does it look a little bit like a cake slice but shorter and with a kind of veg peeler blade where the handle meets the slice part? .... if so then I think my Mum might have one! ... off to liberate it from her tomorrow )

You're right beanz, last time we were in holland, we went to blokker and got a young cheese slicer and a normal one, both were rubbish.
Back to using our old cheap one, I think we also got a delft blue one for my Mum a few years ago and that wasn't good either.
I can ask my MIL the best place in holland to buy a good cheap one, she's a one woman dutch mse expert site all by herself

I'm sure they sell them in Morissons and Wilko's.

At least one of those places cos I must have got mine from one of those!

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!

Until I read this thread I didn't realise that a cheese slice is so uncommon here. Of course I took mine with me when I moved from the Netherlands to Britain last year. Didn't know you could slice cheese with a knife :rotfl:

Next time go the the HEMA. You can find them on every high street. Their cheese slices are cheap, basic, no frills but excellent and last for years...
