BOSKA Monaco+ Cheese Knife, Full-Size, Silver

exactly what I wanted-really thin,paper thin slices-I could not decide on which Boska slicer to order,(Boska seems to be the best brand)so I went on their website-seems this is their newest, improved model(I think that is the reason for the + sign after Monaco)It has a coating and a surface intended to prevent crumbing-I used it on hard cheddar-no crumbling-(seems to be a problem with other slicers)reason for purchase-I am trying to cut down on fats -I love cheese but tend to eat too much -this allows me a taste without overindulging-Boska website said cheese even tastes better when sliced

This is what everyone wants to know. The length of the blade. See photo with tape measure.Aprox. 2 inches.

I opened the box and it was covered in this thick, sticky sludge. At first I thought there was cheese on it.. but it was SUPER STICKY like honey or something.. I have no idea what it is. The box was sealed and ok, so that means that it was covered in this when they packaged the item. What the f?????

I thought this would be a shiny, elegant cheese knife but was surprised to find it was very dull and kind of felt like pewter. It's a little clunky and awkwardly small; when you cut down on cheddar cheese, it kind of mashes it and sticks as much as cuts it. I will try sharpening the knife to see if that helps.Each handle is only approximately 2" long and the cutting part of the blade is only 5 1/8" wide. I had the impression it would be a much longer knife, thinner and much, much, much sharper. Having the two handles is a great idea, but the execution is pretty average and way too small/short.

Used on various firm cheese and it is very sharp and takes a nice smooth uniform slice off and you can vary the thickness. Nice. But if you aren't holding the cheese the right way, the strong pull you have and very sharp blade will take skin off as my wife found out necessitating an urgent care visit

The knives are beautiful and extremely sharp. My complaint would be in the packing. Very little packing material to the point that the knives had all come out of the product box and were loose in the larger packing container. Probably just good luck that there was no apparent damage to the blades.

Er received this cheese slicer and found it in the package unusable. Somehow the blade was misplaced to be level with (and even slightly above) the handle making it impossible to slice cheese with it. I grew up with cheese slicers with this design and love them (and was excited to try out this one, given the more porous metal surface making for a cleaner cut), but this one had me incredibly disappointed. Right now, I can’t seem to find a way to return the product as damaged or file a complaint more formally but when I do, I will

This product has been a game changer in the kitchen. This was originally bought as a gift for my dad, but I think I use it more than he does lol. First of all our old cheese slicer had to be older than my dad. The actual cutting part was extremely dull and the handle had fallen off years ago, so you had to grip a small piece of metal that stuck out. When I first used this new one, I felt like I was floating! The material is heavy duty, and the handle is sturdy. The blade is sharp with little grooves to make the cut as smooth as can be. Plus, the whole thing look very sleek. Now when I go to cut cheese, it is without the dread of how hard it will be! I enjoy cutting cheese with this cheese slicer!

This is a great slicer, works perfectly with little effort needed to create nice, even, thin slices, without sticking. In that respect I'm very pleased with this cheese slicer. Great choice I thought, so I treated myself for Christmas!However, I'm very surprised to discover that in such a short space of time, and really with very little use, a rust spot has developed. Yes its a tiny spot and doesn't affect its slicing ability but that's hardly the point. This is an expensive item for what it is, there are many cheaper versions but I thought that it would be worth investing in something a little better quality. Rust spots only get worse, never better. And I wouldn't have expected it from this highly regarded brand. So if you buy one, check it thoroughly!!!

I’ve bought cheap versions of this and they have never been any good. Decided to pay up and get the best. It works very well and it gives nice thin slices of cheese. It’s extremely sharp so take care when washing it.

This sits well in your hand & slices cheese very easily. I know it is more expensive than many slicers but this is real quality. Washes well in dishwasher

This is the best cheese slicer I ever had very good quality,took awhile to arrive but worth it . Ron

OMG!! I have been looking for a replacement for years, have bought several cheaper versions, NONE compare to this one! Yes it's expensive, but the quality is solid and using it day in day out means it's worth every single penny spent. Highly reccomend. You won't be sorry.
