cheese cutter

Wire-handled food tool

A cheese cutter is a kitchen utensil designed to slice cheese, typically featuring a wire or thin blade stretched across a frame.

The wire type handles soft cheeses cleanly; rigid blade versions work on harder varieties.

Cheese cutter also refers to a style of flat cap with a low, wedge-shaped crown—the sharp front edge supposedly resembles a cutting blade.
