Out of 171 reviews 151 are 5 & 4 star so clearly the majority rules. Its only use will be for cheddar type cheese slicing so is this a good choice?

Yes! It also cuts a lot of everything else due to it open blade configuration. Very low drag on blade

It slices through cheddar easily, more easily than a regular knife. It doesn't stick to the cheese like a regular knife does.

Once you have this knife in your kitchen, you'll definitely use it on cheddar cheese....and maybe more. Enjoy!

Absolutely! My husband uses it to cut cheddar almost exclusively, and it works great. We really love the knife.

Yes it will. I have used for all types of cheeses including cheddar and it works great. I even use on harder meats and it works. Very satisfied with product.

It's a pretty good knife for the price, however the blade has only been sharpened on one side causing the knife to forcefully cut to one side. creating inconsistent cuts and undesirable results.

Yes, this is an awesome product for intended use.. I really use it more than any other knife to slice cheddar type cheese.

Without a problem.. I brought it to cut the hard cheddar cheese I love. It passed the test wonderfully. It will not disappoint you. The stainless steel blade is fused into the handle to make it ULTRA strong

No it has worked fine for slicing about a pound or two of meat at a time. That's all I need it for. I love mine!

It's certainly a heavy duty, well-built machine, if you're concerned about that aspect. It should last a while. It's also very easy to use and does a great job of tenderizing/cubing.

Oh yes! Just watch out for the chain on the sheath it gets in the way of the blade. But this is definitely not your everyday show blade I'm a very happy owner.Oh and its a dagger not a knife. knives are completely different. you wouldn't cut cheese with a dagger would you? Lol

I was skeptical of the quality for the money. We make our own bread and prefer crusty and hearty breads. This knife has worked well for five months now. You can slice bread very thin with little effort. Hope this helps

It's pretty good. But I've only made mashed potatoes and a couple of cheesecakes. It did well with the cream cheese that wasn't fully at room temp and that was kind of stiff. And the retractable cord is awesome. It needs help retracting a little, but its great for storage.

Hi Gary, I'm guessing you want to know how thick the piece of cheese will be. I just cut one, and it is about 2.5 mm thick. By the way, I am not that happy with the slicer. I had had it about two months when the handle developed a crack (it is a beautiful cheese slicer and handle (just like one I bought in Denmark)), and when I contacted the co. they didn't respond. I always wash my wooden handled equipment by hand, so it is not misuse that it is the cause.

Should work great. Although I haven't tried it on cheesecake, I do use it as a chef's knife for small stuff like grape tomatoes, garlic, apples, etc. The thin, sharp blade makes it a multi-purpose knife and I plan to order a couple more. So, not to be too 'punny,' it should be a piece of cake (cheesecake, that is) :)

I guess that depends on what you want to use it for. I use mine for french fries, it has two blade sizes and works great. I did pick this one because the price was better, and have not been disappointed by it.

I only use it for cheeses. They aren't as hard as carrots , radishes etc. I think it would be s little difficult. Really not made for it.. Great for cheese though

It cuts cheese with no problem! i even buy the big wheels of longhorn and it cuts it perfectly, i use my slicer on everything from meats and cheeses to veggies and even frozen meats! trust me you would be quite pleased with this machine! even cuts paper thin!

I think it will be great. I have used it for onions & pickles & it cuts quickly & as small as you want it. The blade is very sharp.

I haven't used mine extensively. The blade is fairly thin, the handle is pretty rigid, the lock seems pretty secure. It would depend on what you mean by hard use. I sure wouldn't try prying or batoning with it. It sharpens well and holds an edge pretty well. It's great at slicing with it's full flat grind. I like it. There is now a very similar model just a little bigger with a thicker blade, I think it's called the Eland. You might want to investigate that before making up your mind. I think either would be a very good buy considering how little they cost.

Yes! We love ours! Worth the extra money over other brands. Seems to be a very heavy duty unit. I sliced up a whole 10lb bag of onions with it on just a couple minutes just last weekend.

It's a small knife, more suited to soft cheeses or cheesecake, things like that. It's super for slicing and not sticking. Great for havarti, Brie/Camembert, cheesecake, etc. I love mine.

I bought it mainly to slice turkey. It is great! also good on other meats. I have had mine for years and am now purchasing a second one as a gift. I mainly use it on holidays. Love it!
