And here I was thinking this was a Brazillian invention (they are wildly popular in Brazil, everywhere you go in Brazil, even the middle of nowhere, like Amazon Rainforest, you will find someone that owns one).

Cool, didn't know that and I use his invention literally every day!

Knife i guess or buy factory sliced. Most cheeses in america is a bit to soft to slice with a cheese slicer anyway.

Potato peeler? https://www.cookipedia.co.uk/wiki/images/thumb/5/5c/Peeler.j...

In Switzerland we do cheese shavings like described in the following article (although only for a specific type of cheese, the 'tete de moine' (monk's head). http://itotd.com/articles/217/the-girolle/

For any other hard cheese it's a bit blasphemic.

Cheese wire maybe?

Most cheese sold in Britain is not sliced, but most people use an ordinary knife for slicing it.

I'd guess grated cheese outsells sliced cheese.

I have two slicers, a really good one and a bad one both from IKEA. Consistent quality is not really their thing.

Can you not bend them until the angle produces thinner slices?
