This is the original double-stringed cheese slicer, invented in Denmark back in 1963 by a family-owned company who believe that hand-sliced cheese just tastes better, and although the design has been tweaked slightly to bring it up to date, it remains faithful to its classic appearance. Made from stainless steel with a polypropylene handle, it produces both thick and thin slices, can handle most types of firm and semi-firm cheese including cheddar, gouda and emmental and is simple to clean.
