Wires for compact marble cheese slicers
Compact Marble Cheese Slicers may be made by Fox Run, RSVP International, or other companies. They typically do not have any idenfying marks on them, except they may say Taiwan on a small sticker. Two features determine this kind of cheese slicer: the wire length (5.5 to 5.75 inches) and the handle mechanism. The handle itself is made of marble, with a threaded stainless steel screw coming out of it. This threaded part screws into a small steel circle that looks like a 'stainless steel donut.' While the color of marble may differ, the shape and metal parts of the handle will look like this:
These cheese slicers need a Compact Spare Wire (single: CW-CMPCT, or set of 4: CSET4-CMPCT4)
Wires with rings on the ends
Some cheese slicers have wires with tiny rings on each end, rather than loops. The handles of these cheese slicers are marble or stainless steel, with an embedded female nut. A stainless steel screw with a place cut out for the wire ring to fit inside screws through a hole in the arm, and into the embedded female area of the marble handle. This assembly looks like this:
If your handle assembly looks like this, and there are rings on the ends of your wires, which wire you need depends on the length of the wire.
