If I cut a thing in two, are the two pieces together exactly the same size as the original?

Or to rephrase it: does a knife/scissors/etc just split something or does it remove something?

    That looks like my cheddar! That’s why, without the aid of an industrial shearing rig, I have to hold the knife at about 15 degrees off vertical, cutting edge towards the block. The cut goes straight down. I’ve accepted the superiority of using a small santoku knife and having to hand wash. I really should get a wire slicer
