Larry, the problem I've had with the wire lever/slab slicers is the handle
to tighten the wire with is flimsy. The idea is great but the implementation
(of what I've seen) is substandard, hence my post. If you can point me in
the direction of a quality lever/slab style I would be most grateful.

Thanks,

Erik

I'm looking for a good, quality cheese slicer that can be used for a few
slices at a time. The marble slab with the wire cutter is NOT what I want
unless it's made a lot better than the ones you find a garage sales.

For thin slices, I don't think there's anything that cuts better than
a wire. If you don't like the lever/slab types, or aren't willing to
adjust or replace the wire when necessary, you might try the hand-held
wire/roller slicers. They work very well for standard deli blocks of
american or cheddar.

I find hand-held wires with two handles almost impossible to use for
equally thick slices.
