The phrase a cheese slicer can point to more than one kind of tool. In everyday shop talk it usually means either a wire or lever slicer used at the table or counter, or the slicer knife that forms part of a multi-tool cheese knife set. Those are different products, and the distinction matters most to buyers assembling a wholesale cheese-board assortment.
The references below come from the Juneshing cheese tool catalog. Where a detail is model-specific it is identified with the model reference; where a point is a buyer check rather than a listed specification, it is described as a check.
What the term cheese slicer usually means
A slicer is a tool whose job is to cut a block or wedge of cheese into slices of usable thickness. In a kitchenware range, two formats appear under that description:
- Standalone slicers — wire, lever or plane-style tools that exist as one item, often sold next to graters and board accessories.
- Slicer knives inside a set — a single knife among several cheese tools, sold as part of a coordinated assortment.
This distinction should be the first line of any purchase brief. If a retail listing promises “a cheese slicer” and ships a set, the customer expectation and the packing list need to agree.
Slicer knives inside a Juneshing cheese tool set
The current cheese tool collection includes two six-piece models whose published component tables name a slicer.
| Model | Material and finish | Component named in the listing | Listed size and weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| CK-SS01 | Stainless steel blades and handles | Cheese slicer knife (CK-SS01-01) | 136*24mm, 36 g |
| CK-CW01 | Stainless steel blades with riveted rosewood handles | Cheese knife slicer (CK-CW01-02) | 195*35mm, 66.4 g |
Both listings describe their selection as six cheese cutting and serving tools, and both note that the exact component list should be confirmed on the sample and packing list. The published figures are model-specific reference data, not a general standard for cheese slicers.
Related models include the 6-Piece Stainless Steel Cheese Knife Set CK-SS01 for an all-metal presentation, and the 6-Piece Rosewood Handle Cheese Knife Set CK-CW01 for a mixed stainless and wood look. The wider cheese knife sets and serving tools category lists the other handle and finish options in the same family.
Slicer knife versus cheese plane
Buyers often treat these as synonyms, but the catalog keeps them separate. CK-CW01 describes its assortment as including a narrow slicing blade, a perforated blade and a cheese plane as distinct tools, each with its own working profile. The category page likewise asks buyers to compare narrow slicing knives, broad scrapers, forks, perforated blades and cheese planes as separate functions rather than counting pieces.
The practical consequence for a retail brief is that a slicer knife and a plane do not cover the same cutting task in a described assortment. If your range plan needs both a slicing function and a plane function, the component table is where you confirm that both appear.
Buyer checks before ordering
Cheese tool listings on this site carry commercial terms that readers should verify rather than assume. Listed figures are model-specific reference terms.
- Order unit. Both CK-SS01 and CK-CW01 list a minimum of 1,000 pcs, and both instruct buyers to confirm whether that quantity is counted per individual tool or per complete set.
- Lead time. Both list 35–45 days production, and both ask buyers to confirm the current schedule.
- Logo and packaging. Both list a 2,000-piece threshold for logo and custom-packaging requests.
- Component selection. Ask for the exact packing list that names every included tool, including the slicer.
- Boards and accessories. CK-CW01 states that a serving board is not included unless it is specified in the quotation and approved packaging list. Do not assume a board from a lifestyle photograph.
- Samples and care. Obtain a sample of the exact configuration. For stainless finishes compare finish samples and care instructions; for wooden handles check appearance and finish variation on the sample.
- Quotation content. A usable price request names the model reference, selected pieces, quantity, packing or logo requirements, destination and required delivery date.
Frequently asked questions
Is a cheese slicer the same as a cheese plane?
Not in this catalog. The CK-CW01 listing treats a narrow slicing blade, a perforated blade and a cheese plane as separate tools with different intended tasks. If you need a defined function in a set, confirm it by component name on the packing list rather than by the set name.
Does a Juneshing cheese knife set include a slicer?
The published component tables for CK-SS01 and CK-CW01 each name a slicer — CK-SS01-01 cheese slicer knife at a listed 136*24mm and 36 g, and CK-CW01-02 cheese knife slicer at a listed 195*35mm and 66.4 g. These are listed sizes and weights for those components, not a buyer-side check of slice thickness, and the exact selection should be confirmed on the sample and packing list.
What should a slicer enquiry include?
Send the model reference, the specific components you want, quantity, packing or logo needs, destination and required delivery date. Ask whether the listed minimum is counted per tool or per set, and request current pricing, sample cost and production timing along with the quotation. These commercial details are listed on the product pages as reference terms only, so they should be reconfirmed in writing.
