I just use a knife. I put the knife blade where I want to 1/8 inch to 3
inches and then push down. Sure sometimes it doesn't work but I eat the
failures as well. I think a wire device to cut cheese for personal use
and not entertaining is frivillous a waste of time and money. A crooked
slice of cheese shouldn't bother you overly. Or affect your appetite in
any meaningful way.

Buy a rollered cheese cutter...remove roller by using wire cutters on the
plastic. Damn sure the plastic will either cut or shatter removing it
from your way. Alternate drill out the rivets. Power tools are your
friend. Alternate go to a music store buy metal guitar/piano string mount
said string in a wire coathangar frame or use the cheese cutter frame you
already have.
