What kind of cheese? If you're working with semi-hard or hard cheese, I'd favor something a little thicker than the usual petty. If you're cutting cheese on the line for charcuterie platters you're going to end up rushed at some point and you wouldn't want to chip a hard, thin petty in the middle of service.
Henckles makes something they call a prep knife that I think would work really well. Here it is from Cutlery and More, here it is from Amazon to save on shipping if you have Amazon Prime. Wusthof has a similar "Asian" utility knife and has also just introduced a slightly larger multipurpose prep knife, but they're a little more. If you want to save a little cash you could also look at a Fibrox utility knife instead, which is an effective knife.
Personally, I'd favor the Henckels. I have the paring knife from that line and it has taken some real beatings.
