Would this work on a big block of cheddar cheese?

yes if by block you mean a 2 or 3 inch thick size..any larger and knife is too small..it will definately cut through any cheddar...does for me and I eat it often and use this knife to slice nor cut off large pieces to shred

If you mean like a 25 pounder from Cabot, probably to make small wedges. I use it regularly on 2-pound blocks of Tillamook Cheddar. The blade is only about 4 or 4-1/2 inches long. But it is quite strong

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.

The blade is less than 3 inches. You may want the big one? Works wonderful on any cheese. Soft or hard

To cut small slices of any but hard dry cheeses it is great. It works on soft cheeses like Brie and Jack especially well

No, the holes aren't raised in any way, so it won't really cut the cheese. I suppose if you put, say, a corner of the cheese on it, some of it might be grated, but they're quite big holes and it most definitely wouldn't be useful as a cheese grater.

if its not too hard like parmesan cheese it should but be aware that it will only be small chunks

No. It's too wide and if cheese is sliced, it will be too tall for cover to close.

I'm trying to think of I've ever used this for mozzarella. I know it does well with cheddar, so I'm sure it would work fine.

I don't think so. Maybe with some hard cheese like parmigiano it might work

The fine grating disc works with cheddar cheese if you can tolerate significant imperfections related to the softness of the cheese. Roughly two thirds of the cheddar cheese looks almost like finely grated parmesan cheese. The rest of the cheese has rolled into greasy clumps of varying sizes. Some of the clumps are much too large to go into a salad, for example, while others are small enough. I sprinkled several teaspoons over a salad with the juice of half of a lemon. The effect is certainly much nicer than cheese grated with the standard grating disc.

Opinion is it would be difficult given the lack of leverage on the short lid-handle and short grinder-handle. It would depend too on the hardness of the nuts. We gave ours away because it did not work well on hard or medium hard cheese. Good luck!

Yes! It does a good job of grating cheddar cheese. Just tested it and I give it thumbs up. Haven't tried any other cheeses.

it would work with hard cheese like some Reggiano but have not tried it on that. Just vegetables.Very sharp!! :)

Yes, if it can go through hard veggies light potatoes and carrots I would. It might get sticky depending on the type of cheese I think would make neat patterns. SO go for it

Mainly for hard or medium cheese. It's not so great for soft cheeses. I love it.

Unless your crust is dry and brittle, I think it will do just fine. I love mine for cheese and hard-boiled eggs. I've even used it to cut a sandwich in half.

I've grated cheddar on the coarse cylinder, and it was fine. But, since I slice rather than grate mozzarella, I have no experience with that to report.

Possibly. It does have a shredding disk and it shreds soft cheeses, so it may do the job.

Yes...be careful of not chipping into the block itself. Might also need the narrower bit to clean up missed morar.

It would be the regular grated cheese. I'm not sure how well the blades would do with cheese - they could get clogged. Worth a try though.
