Never mind the Dutch ¨cheese-slicer´.
Which works perfect with Gouda-type cheeses, but even on Brie/ Camembert and other cheeses, if not too soft. And real butter, or making crisps !
An ancient tool still used in The Netherlands. Not because we are El-cheapos. ( Which we are ).
But it allows some air between slices , adding more taste. We gave them to "our' Canadians , but Cheddar goes better if thicker I guess. There is at least one in Australia, we gave somebody one as present too.

From Wikipedia > Ostehøvel, a modern cheese slicer or cheese plane, was invented by Thor Bjørklund in 1925 in Norway.[2] Mass production of the ostehøvel started during 1927 in Lillehammer, Norway.
Absolutely mandatory tool in every Scandinavian/Nordic kitchen. Guess it's the same in NL, then?
