OSTI Original Stainless Steel Cheese Slicer with Durable Plastic Handle

I got this without reading the reviews and I gotta say my experience has not been what some people are reporting here. This is a very nice wire cutter with a nice design. The threaded end piece allows you to keep a very tight wire, which makes a better cut. I don't know how so many people are breaking these, but I imagine they are trying to cut through thick rind, which this isn't great for. However, this will do just fine on harder cheeses parmesan, pecorino, etc.. I just recommend using a knife to cut or remove the rind and use this for slicing.

I would not have given it any stars if that was an option. I bought 2 OSTI 822 cheese slicers. The first one broke about the 3rd use, and the second one broke on the first use. I was slicing a relatively soft cheddar cheese. I notified the manufacturer after the first one broke, and again when the second one broke. It has been 6 days since I first notified the company, and have had no response yet from them yet.

This cheese cutter is very well-made and good looking. It cleans easily.

Great product. Easy to slice hard cheeses with 2 different thicknesses. Value for money.

I really like the design of this slicer: being able to properly tension the wire is great, and it's a much more efficient (space saving) design than the standard slicer. I really wanted to like it.Sadly, as with others the wire broke, after about a month of daily use. I'm not sure I want to get in the habit of buying a dozen replacement wires a year. I'm thinking about buying a spool of stainless wire, and making my own replacements. If anyone is interested, the wire it comes with is 26 gauge (0.4mm), and the slots in the handle measure about 0.6mm...so 24 or 26 gauge wire should fit. I had some 28 gauge and tried that, but it's a little too thin.It boggles my mind...my parents still have a dollar-store aluminum cheese slicer that they bought probably 30 years ago, and it has a wire that has never broken.

Absolutely the best cheese slicer ever. I received my first cheese slicer like this for a wedding gift over 36 years ago from family in Denmark 🇩🇰 after many many years I had to replace it, was so happy to have found the exact style. This is perfect for block cheeses, looks elegant at a table setting,works perfectly on hard or soft cheeses. Makes a grand wedding or anniversary gift. Definitely the perfect little gift to yourself too.

I was initially very excited with this cheese cutter but it broke after only a couple of week's use. The wire is not secured tightly enough to keep from stretching and ultimately pulling out. My attempts to re-secure it failed. It is significantly more expensive than other slicers so it is especially disappointing that it lasted for so short of time.

My family eats a lot (like a 5 lb. block a week A LOT!!) of cheese so we go through a lot of slicers. (Obviously, right?!) Most of the ones I find are plastic and don't last us very long then I saw this one and thought I'd give it a try. We haven't had it very long but so far I am loving it. It is very easy to use and simple to clean. And the best part is it seems so much sturdier than the others I've used in the past. Fingers crossed it lasts longer than all the others!🤞🤞
