Question: Is it wide enough to slice a 5 pound block of cheese?
Document: This cheese slicer is very well built  but is very poor in overall design for thickness of slices & works very poorly on 2-pound loaf's of cheese , actually breaking and chipping the slice. was very disapointed in the overall performance of the slicer & me !Thank you .....LDW
Unexpected high quality for the price than the one we replaced....we buy block cheese (cheaper than sliced) and use it almost daily
By the 5th cut on a small block of chedder cheese I had to stop. The wire had streched to far to use. Another kitchen tool destined for the far reaches of my (not so) handy tool drawer.
I would highly recommend the aluminum cheese slicer! It is made of high quality aluminum and has adjustable slice thickness!
I am so pleased with this cheese slicer! It is definitely a heavy gauge quality cast aluminum and I do mean heavy, but very well balanced in your hand! I especially like the adjustable stainless steel cutting wire and its wide with.
This cheese slicer is made of REAL Stainless Steel. Often I buy products touting stainless steel only to have them rust shortly after. It's easy to adjust to cut a real thin slice or any thickness you need. Washes great. Very easy to use. Seems cheese slicers in stores these days are stuck on 'thick' adjustment SO this design is an improvement in the current market.
Solid tool, durable. Only complaint is the handle, it is difficult to grip being so smooth and small. Slice me some chez :)
Cuts as thick or thin as you want and the thickness (or thinness) of the slice stays consistent. Very good slicer.
Came apart on the third slice. Could not figure out if or how to put it back together. Dirictions on reassembling would be helpful.
Nice and heavy duty. Easy to change size of slice. Cuts cleanly. Compact in size and rolls well. Recommend it for gift giving.
Answer: I'd say 3-1/2" width maximum.
