This is a later style of curd cutter which cuts the curd into cubes by using first one direction and then reversing, which facilitates the removal of the whey. This example has 49 diagonal steel knives. The wooden handle is at a right angle to the cutter and is fixed on by means of a brass ring. There are two circular grooves on the handle. Two knobs at the bottom of the cutter protect the knives. The inscription suggests it was made by Ponds of Blandford in Dorset. This item was donated as part of a collection of dairy related objects from the University of Reading Department of Food Science.
