I used to have a Mouli brand of that design but it was all metal. I loved
it but rarely used it for cheese. I mostly used it for chocolate. I used
to make a chocolate tweed cake that called for grated chocolate.

I had issues when using it with cheese because you had to first cut it so
that it would fit into the grater and then you were always left with this
little odd bit that simply wouldn't grate.

The Mouli really only lasted for a couple of years. The metal was somewhat
thin and it eventually got too much out of shape and I think maybe it broke.
Can't remember for sure as this would have been about 30 years ago. I tried
to buy another but now they are making them with a little plastic handle and
that always breaks off. So, I won't try that style again.
