Hello! I have the cheese slicer for over a year, of course, he does his own purposes, it is known, good WMF quality. I found it very nice that he's in one piece, so do not similar to me breaking points by specially attached, chunky handle, even so I ordered it. He is a beautiful, elegant, natural stainless. As noted by some reviewers and also to see the photo (!), The handle but is thin, slim, smooth and slightly ergonomically designed, so here stand design before comfort of use in the foreground. Thus it can not be so easily and comfortably operate with harder cheeses. But it is still, you just have to give him hold on tight. Who puts on pure comfort, only completely effortless usability and practicality value, or simple gross motor or muscle loose, dauerschwitzige Wurstfinger has, perhaps is better off with another model), the planer is high but good and does the job. Shipping and packaging were perfect.
