Cheese slicer
A modern cheese slicer, also called a cheese plane, was invented by Thor Bjørklund in 1925 in Lillehammer, Norway. The cheese slicer's mass production started in 1927. The design was based on the carpenter's plane. This style of slicer is very common in the Nordic countries, and in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland.
A cheese slicer is used usually to cut semi-hard and hard cheeses. It produces thin, even slices not unlike a carpenter's plane. There are different styles of cheese slicers, designed for cheeses of varying hardness. A cheese slicer can be also used for slicing cold butter, zucchini or cucumber.
