I finally found a way to slice cheese without it sticking to the knife.

A little oil on the blade makes it glide through and keeps the pieces clean.

Heating the knife works too! Just run it under hot water for a few seconds before you cut.

Get where you're coming from with the hot knife trick. I tried that method last week and totally messed up a log of goat cheese. It just smeared everywhere and left a weird film on the blade. Ruined the whole presentation for my snack board. Now I just keep a dedicated cheese knife that I run under cold water and dry first. Something about the cold metal seems to work better for the really soft stuff.

Heating the knife can make soft cheese melt at the edges though. I mean, I'd rather just wipe on a tiny bit of oil.
