Good IFOct 06, 2000
By David Wihowski If you use a cheese plane or have plans to use one, this is a good one. If you do not use a cheese plane, you can probably get by without this. It is good at making uniform slices of cheese which are on the thin side. A vegetable peeler is better for making parmesan curls. As usual it has OXO's ergonomic, grippy handle. I like using this utensil for making cheese slices for an appetizer tray.

A fine cheese plane.Jul 05, 2002
Not an item everyone needs or wants, but if you want it, you want it perfect. This is the one. Fits the hand like a, well, like a cheese plane. Excellent craftsmanship.

Excellent quality value.Aug 29, 2004
By M. E. Volmar This is a handy and attractive cheese plane with a very sharp blade that cuts from every angle, glides easily and produces thin, clean and effortless slices every time. Its sharp blade never seems to need sharpening, and its hefty body fits comfortably in the hand, making it require less force to operate than the more traditional cheese planes do, and rendering it perfect for either firm or soft cheese. Like the rest of the products from the OXO Good Grips line, this one is a great value of superior quality, unsurpassed durability and flawless performance. Its ergonomic design and big, pressure-absorbing, outstanding non-slip grip, complete with flexible fins to accommodate your fingers and an oversized hole for easy hanging, allow you comfortable, daily, wet or dry use. Its elegant, stylized shape makes it perfect to move back and forth between the kitchen and the dinner table. Its easy-to-clean, simple construction and dishwasher-safe, hard-wearing materials make this a tool that you will be able to depend on for years, and its stainless-steel metal parts will permanently keep your rust worries away. After submitting this product to over two years of normal use, mine is still just like new. I even use it on blocks of chocolate, to make fast-melting slices when I bake. --Reviewed by M. E. Volmar

Does not live up to other OXO Good Grips productsNov 28, 2009
By Drew Gagliano The main problem with this product is that the metal part is way too flexible. It bends all over the place when you are trying to use it to make a slice of cheese. It needs to be much more rigid than it is. When it does actually cut, the slices it makes are nearly transparent. Way too thin.
Spend a little more money and get something that's made out of rigid steel and doesn't flex and bend all over when trying to use it. Big let down.

Faulty designApr 28, 2011
By momheuer I received this for a gift. It worked well for a couple of months, but is not made to last. Because the metal connecting to the handle is flimsy, it flexes and bends slightly with use. After less than 4 months, mine broke cleanly in half. My previous cheese planes lasted for many years, only to be discarded after getting dull.
After sending an email to OXO, they replied quickly and offered to replace the item.
Pros: thin,sharp, flexible, cuts nicely. Company has very good customer service! Cons: thin metal will most likely break
