    Mine broke a few years ago, it came fron John Lewis about 20 years ago (I got it for Mum as a brithday pressie then "borrowed" it when I first moved out), never been able to replace it:sad: Now I use a tomato knife for cheese (and absoultely everything else in fact) But mine wasn't a peeler type, it was a slab of marble with a wire cutter attached and was FANTASTIC:confused: I do still have a set of proper cheese knives for cutting different types of cheese which look very posh at dinner parties though:D

    Yep, it definitely seems that they are pretty rare over here, but widely used on the continent. We had ours as a wedding present from a Norwegian friend, and when we opened it, none of our friends/family who were there knew what it was :p - best guess was an oddly shaped cake slice!!:rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Love it though - its been in use for the last 10 years and we use it all the time...!:T

    We use it as a cakeslice too

    Saw some lovely mini graters and slicers at Amsterdam airport with a lovely blue Delft design on the handle:)

    You can get slicers and graters at Doobies farm shop (the shop next to it) - for a reasonable cost.

    Yeah, they are really excellent. Kids get even slices of cheese, and you know how fussy they are. We got ours from Lakeland:

    Maybe it's just me, but I hate that Lakeland cheese slicer, it is nowhere as near as good as my old one, which broke a few years back - anyone have a really good one, without paying a fortune?

    all good kitchen shops (you know the ones...the ones which instill panic in our respective OHs because they know we wont come out again without having spent loads (in both time and money) in them :rotfl: ) should stock them
