How well did this style of cheese cutter work for you? Did it cut fairly evenly from top to bottom as the wire sliced through the loaf? I have been mulling over purchasing a wood unit similar to this...

I started with a cheese slicer...$15.00 on Amazon. Since it is meant to cut through cheddar and swiss, I had no issues with it cutting through soap cleanly. But I did run into a small issue of downforce wanting to move the loaf and I would sometimes end up with uneven cuts. Simple solution was to run to Home Depot and buy a round dowel, course sandpaper and wood glue. I cut the dowel to the size of the board (before the wire), split it down the middle and sanded it. I then measured an inch from the bottom of the board and sanded a section of the finish of the length and width of the towel and then glued and clamped the dowel down. Used that puppy for quite a few months and would probably still be using it if I hadn't got a heck of a deal on gently used Bud's single bar cutter.
 
I just wanted to throw in that these are really decent for the price on amazon and so far they've held up for a month of heavy use
I was looking to see if anyone would recommend these before I did. I have several and they work awesome. Have had mine for a couple of years now. :thumbs:
