- "Jag har en gul osthyvel."

I'd probably rephrase this entirely, e.g. Jag har en osthyvel för gul ost. If I had to put it as above, I'd just a dash for clarity: Jag har en gul ost-hyvel. The sentence is technically ambigious the way it's currently written, but nobody would ever interpret it to mean that the cheese has to be yellow. :)

Tack. I was actually thinking of this http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandolin_%28k%C3%B6ksredskap%29 which is apparently called a Mandolin (and not a compound word involving hyvel)

Yeah I called it a cheese shaver because it shaves or, as mentioned, planes the cheese. Duo didn't like that.

I grew up in an area that produced much cheese, but we didn't have any fancy implements for cutting it, apparently. :) Tack, alla!

Jag med! I too have a yellow cheese slicer along with a white two black and 2 wooden osthyvlar! I love my osthyvlar.
