I have a Kitchen Aid cheese slicer. It's 8" long - has a handle on the bottom, and the top has a thin wire to slice the cheese. I buy those blocks of cheese at Costco - and it works perfectly. I just googled Kitchen Aid Cheese Slicer - and there's a pic of it - Target has it for $7.99.

I love reading this forum, so many people eat and drink different than I do.

I've never had a grilled cheese sandwich with anything else other than a slice of American Cheese and I never bought a block of it even from the deli.

Growing up in a Norweigen American family we are never without a cheese knife. We have several.

I have several also, but I sometimes use a regular knife with no problem at all. I'm perplexed by the posters who say regular knives don't work. Just tonight I used a regular knife, and didn't think twice about it.

Am I the only one?

Me too....

I also use knives. I thought it was a trick question at first. Knives work great.

One of my favs is extra sharp cheddar. Sometimes I buy the 2lb block of Tillamook, cut it into 4 or 5 pieces, and vacuum each one separately.

Never had a problem slicing (nope, not gonna use the word 'cutting' - heh) any kind of cheese with a knife.

My knife

A knife?

I have a cheese slicer with one of those thin wires that cuts cheese. I have used dental floss in the past that works pretty good on softer cheeses.

I get where sarahpanda is coming from. I have in the past had difficulty cutting cheese with a knife. When I buy Tillimook it isn't a large block compared to the huge block I all got from Costco. It is very big. I have one in my refrigerator right now. I know I will probably cut a chunk off and I'm pretty sure it won't be easy. I do have a Cutco Cheese Knife and may try that first. I could not imagine using a cheese slicer on this block.
