Your post inspired me to google around for wire-based cheese cutters.
In the one-thing-leads-to-another department, a mandoline popped up.
Snap! I buzzed into the kitchen (Bill's sitting at the counter,
blearily reading the Sunday paper) and grabbed my Oxo hand mandoline
(which is handy as hell, BTW) and the tag end of cheddar in the
reefer. I ran off a few slices, all the while Bill is (blearily)
watching me with a "WTF" expression on his face. When I told him my
cheese slicer search saga, his only comment on the cheese slices was,
"It's not even." It rolls off thicker on one side than the other. The
man has a serious case of OCD with Certain Things and this is one of
them. His law partner wandered into his office one day while he was
eating the lunch I'd made him, and he had about a dozen Wheat Thins
spread out with an equal number of cheddar cheese squares perched on
each, in military ranks, as it were. And that's just crackers and
cheese. You oughta see his closet... (former Marine and never got over
it).

Oh, and I've ordered

The Amco in your post was unavailable, but thanks for the idea!
