A cheese slicer made of stainless steel is a cheese-serving tool whose working blade is formed from stainless steel. In the Juneshing catalog, the exact term “cheese slicer knife” appears as a named component in two multi-tool cheese sets, and both list stainless steel as the blade material. This article explains what you can verify from those listings, how a stainless steel slicer relates to cheese planes and perforated knives, and which questions a buyer should ask before committing to a wholesale order.
What “stainless steel” means for a cheese slicer
In the current listings, stainless steel is recorded as the material for the blade, and in one set also for the handle. The 6-Piece Stainless Steel Cheese Knife Set CK-SS01 is described as an all-stainless-steel set with “stainless steel blades and handles” and a coordinated metal finish. The Wood Handle Cheese Knife and Plane Set CK-W02R uses “stainless steel blades with wooden handles.” Beyond material wording, the source does not state a steel grade, hardness, corrosion rating or food-contact certification, so those points remain buyer checks rather than quoted specifications.
How a cheese slicer knife differs from a cheese plane
The category page advises comparing tools by serving function rather than by piece count. It names several functions: narrow slicing knives, broad cheese scrapers, forks, perforated blades and cheese planes. A “cheese slicer knife” is listed as its own component. In CK-SS01 the slicer knife reference CK-SS01-01 is listed at 136*24mm and 36 g. In CK-W02R, two components are listed as cheese slicer knives (CK-W02R-01 at 153*19mm, 17 g, and CK-W02R-04 at 156*22mm, 17 g), alongside a cheese peeler (CK-W02R-02) and a cheese knife (CK-W02R-03). CK-W02R also includes a cheese plane. The listings therefore treat slicing knives, peelers and planes as separate items, which is a useful distinction when writing a brief.
Comparing the two listed sets that include a slicer knife
| Point | CK-SS01 | CK-W02R |
|---|---|---|
| Product type | 6-piece stainless steel cheese knife set | Wood handle cheese knife and plane set |
| Material and finish | Stainless steel blades and handles | Stainless steel blades with wooden handles |
| Selection | Six cheese cutting and serving tools | Four illustrated cheese tools, including a cheese plane |
| Listed slicer knife size | CK-SS01-01: 136*24mm, 36 g | CK-W02R-01: 153*19mm, 17 g; CK-W02R-04: 156*22mm, 17 g |
| Listed minimum order | 1,000 pcs; confirm per tool or per set | 1,000 pcs; confirm per tool or per set |
| Listed production lead time | 35–45 days; confirm current schedule | 35–45 days; confirm current schedule |
Note that the listed sizes and weights describe individual components, not performance. The sources do not state blade thickness, edge geometry or which cheese types each slicer is best for, so treat “best for” language as a testable question rather than a quoted fact.
Buyer checks before ordering stainless steel cheese slicers
The catalog itself recommends several checks. Use these as a starting point for any stainless steel slicer enquiry.
- Request the exact packing list. Ask for a labeled list showing every included piece, since piece counts and component names differ between sets.
- Confirm the order unit. Both listings state 1,000 pcs and ask buyers to confirm whether the quantity is measured per individual tool or per complete set.
- Check the current schedule. The 35–45 day figure is a listed reference term and should be re-confirmed for your order window.
- Match finish samples to the brief. The category page advises reviewing actual finish samples, grip dimensions and packaging before finalizing a range.
- Ask about care instructions. The category page notes that care instructions matched to the selected finish and construction should be obtained for plated or wooden-handle tools.
- Do not assume a serving board. The category FAQ states no board should be assumed from a lifestyle photograph; any board or extra accessory must be explicitly identified in the quotation and packing list.
Customization and private-label questions for cheese slicer orders
The category page states that logo or custom-packaging requests carry a 2,000-piece threshold as a model-specific reference term, while both product listings say samples and packaging options are available for discussion. Buyers should ask for current sample cost, freight, logo options and packaging minimum order quantity for the selected configuration. The CK-SS01 listing also advises discussing artwork position, finish, packaging layout and the order unit before approving a private-label project, and obtaining a sample of the exact configuration before bulk production.
What to include in a quotation request
For CK-SS01 the listing suggests sending model CK-SS01, selected pieces, quantity, packing or logo requirements, destination and required delivery date, plus a reference image if choosing among blade or handle options. CK-W02R asks for the same kind of brief. For broader category context, the cheese knife sets and serving tools collection explains how tool functions, handle styles and finishes are presented across the range.
Frequently asked questions
Is a stainless steel cheese slicer the same as a cheese plane?
No. The CK-W02R listing shows a cheese plane and cheese slicer knives as separate components, and the category page lists cheese planes alongside narrow slicing knives, broad scrapers and perforated blades as distinct serving functions. Review the plane opening and blade profile for each tool against the cheeses you intend to serve, and confirm the final packing list before approving an order.
Can I request a sample before ordering stainless steel cheese slicers?
Both the CK-SS01 and CK-W02R listings state that samples and packaging options are available for discussion. Ask for the current sample cost, freight, logo options and packaging minimum order quantity for your selected configuration, and obtain a sample of the exact configuration you intend to order before bulk production. Nothing in these listings guarantees a free sample or a fixed turnaround, so confirm terms in your quotation.
What should I include in a quotation request?
Send the model reference, the selected pieces, quantity, packing or logo requirements, destination and required delivery date. For handle or blade variations, add a reference image. This matches the guidance on both the CK-SS01 and CK-W02R listings, and helps the team respond with a relevant specification and schedule.
Does a cheese slicer listing include a serving board?
The category FAQ states that no board should be assumed from a product photograph and that any serving board or additional accessory must be explicitly identified in the quotation and the packing list. If your range includes a board, specify it separately when preparing your brief.
