Ostehøvel 

The greatest invention known to man.
Invented by the Norwegians and present in every Norwegian home in at least one style.

To you and me, this great invention would be known as a 'cheese slicer'; enabling the user to precision cut the perfect slice of cheese.
Englishman: "Say here, when i cut my cheese with the cheese knife it's always in uneven slices and chunks the size of apples; what am i to do?"

Big Strong Norwegian: "Here, borrow my ostehøvel..."

Englishman: "Wowza! These slices of cheese are so thin and even. I salute you!"
