I'll cut it with whatever but for nice uniform slices, it's hard to beat a wire guillotine. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

Yeah a wire with built in wheel will cut them perfect unless it’s a soft cheese. | |||

Very possible it’s kinda old so I don’t think it ever had a coating. I live on a lake and it’s cut tons of crappie and bass so it’s also possible that it’s been worn/sharpened off. | |||

For blocks of hard cheese I usually use a one piece stainless steel restraunt knife. The knife is longer than the cheese is wide so the method is to apply pressure on both sides and go slow. The cheeses that I buy are sold by Costco so its big cheese. About six months ago Costco stocked a french triple cream brie. That triple cream brie is the marshmallow of cheeses! If the triple cream brie is re-stocked then I will buy an hundreds dollar worth. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

This post by Pipe Smoker led me to purchase a Rapala filet knife; mine has a 6” blade. The knife is the odd duck in our knife block with all the other Zwilling J.A. Henckels knives, but I’ve come to the realization that sometimes there’s no substitute for a knife with a thin, flexible, very sharp blade. I do not use it for cheese, as suggested, like bald1 I use a good paring knife for that. I use it pretty much as intended, as a filet knife. This morning I was preparing beef back ribs for marinade—-perfect. You may have been interested by Pipe Smoker’s post, then kinda forgot about it. Follow his link, take another look. I think the knife is very useful. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Closest I have to these filleting blades is a now discontinued Kellam - J. Marttiini #M1281 Urban Lynx 4.3" puuko. It is kept in a kitchen drawer in its leather sheath. Used mostly for opening bulk pound tubes of pork sausage. Lol Still prefer a paring knife for cheese duties.
