BOSKA Monaco+ Premium Cheese Slicer - Award Winning Cheese Cutter for Block Cheese, Cheddar up to Parmesan - Quilted Pattern reduces Resistance - Non-stick & Ergonomic Handheld

on impulse, I bought a couple of Boska cheese knives at a local upscale market, and was really impressed with how well they fulfilled their intended purpose - to slice cheese effectively. The sharpness of the blade, and the external non-stick texture of the knife, made slicing cheese of any variety a perfect experience. I don't know a lot about cheese, but I do know something about knives, and these are superbly engineered for their intended purpose.I was so impressed with the knives that I bought a set as a gift for some friends. These were not your ordinary over-the-fence friends; they're from the Netherlands, and really love their cheese. They'd never heard of this brand, but after using the knives for a little while they can't stop raving about how perfectly the knives slice the cheese without sticking or crushing, are easy to clean, and keep their edge.(Note: I found the knives to be not super sharp, but just about right to slice through packaging and labels without being too fragile as to require frequent sharpening. Also, the 100% stainless knife just drops into the dishwasher for cleaning, which appeals hugely to my fundamentally lazy nature.)After a year, I still love my original purchase, and my sophisticated friends couldn't be happier with these knives - A+++!

This cheese slicer actually sliced as good as the old one (probably made 30 years ago) my mom won’t give to me. Highly recommend.

Best quality. Single piece construction. Easy (as enjoyable to use as it gets) to use. Very good for hard cheeses,

This is an awesome cheese slicer and works flawlessly, the only downside is that the cutting section is too small to cut standard sized slices from a block of cheese.

My daughter needed a slicer, so I sent her this one (and bought one for myself). I have been using it on hard cheeses, and it makes the thinnest perfect slices you can imagine. The kind of quilted surface should make softer cheese not stick to it. I may get more to use as hostess gifts--this is one terrific piece of kitchen equipment.

It is excellent. It cuts an even piece of sharp cheddar cheese. It is dishwasher safe and it is easy to clean.

This is THE cheese plane I buy as a wedding gift for everyone I know. My parents have had one for years, I've had one for a couple years now; it's excellent. I never seen one go dull.
