We have a Tupperware one that my mum bought years ago and never used - it has a big thick handle so would be easy to grip for someone with, say, arthritis and the blade part is the perfect width for 1kg blocks of cheese.I will see if I can find a listing for a similar one on here but otherwise check out your local hospice or op shops - ours always have Tupperware and you might get lucky

I sympathise as I have limited hand use as well and over the years, thru downright stubborness I have developed ways & means to adapt to the issues this causes. I find the plastic wire ones ok, and have had mine for yonks!. The metal slide/slice I sometimes have to use 2 hands, and find it cumbersome. I also have one of the u beaut scraper peelers bought years ago at a cooking demo stand, but I find that a right pain. Stick with the wire, place the block on a flat surface, and use 2 hands to steady the wire as you cut.
