Carrol Boyes Cheese Slicer

The Carrol Boyes Cheese Slicer is a functional art piece from the iconic South African designer Carrol Boyes, known for blending sculpture-inspired aesthetics with everyday kitchen tools. This slicer is part of her signature cutlery and kitchenware range, featuring a distinctive, nature-inspired or figurative handle design (e.g., Woman, Ram, Wound Up, or similar motifs) while delivering practical slicing performance for cheeses, charcuterie, or soft foods.

Design & Aesthetics — Signature Carrol Boyes style with nature/human-form inspired handles (e.g., Woman Coil, Ram, Wound Up, Aries, or other motifs) — pewter or stainless steel construction for artistic flair; makes it a statement piece on the cheese board or countertop.

Functionality — Sharp stainless steel slicing wire (adjustable tension in some models) or blade — cuts through soft, semi-hard, or hard cheeses cleanly and evenly; ideal for creating perfect thin slices for platters, sandwiches, or appetizers.

Material — High-quality 18/10 stainless steel blade (durable and corrosion-resistant) combined with pewter or stainless steel handle — hand-polished for a luxurious finish.

Size & Handling — Typically 20–22 cm long (handle + blade) — comfortable grip for precise control; lightweight yet substantial feel.

Care — Hand-wash recommended (dishwasher safe but may affect patina over time); dry immediately to maintain shine; avoid harsh abrasives.

Ideal For — Cheese lovers, entertaining hosts, or collectors in Phuthaditjhaba/Free State who appreciate functional art — perfect for braai platters, wine evenings, or charcuterie boards; a unique South African gift or addition to a kitchen collection. Widely available new at Carrol Boyes stores, Woolworths, or online (R500–R1,200 depending on design), and common second-hand via Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, or Cash Converters.
