Know before you buy
While it can cut soft cheeses, it is specifically engineered for hard cheeses. The straight, sturdy blade is designed to provide the leverage needed for firm textures, whereas a thinner or perforated blade would be better suited for soft, sticky varieties.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish of the marbled composite handle and the integrity of the stainless steel blade, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately.
The composite handle is designed for a comfortable, secure grip. While it provides a stable hold during standard cheese service, we recommend keeping the handle dry to ensure the best control while slicing.
No, the cleaver does not include a storage case or sheath. Because the blade is sharp, we recommend storing it in a knife block or a dedicated drawer organizer to protect the edge and prevent accidental nicks.
The Sabre Tortoise Cheese Cleaver features a straight edge. This design is ideal for creating clean, uniform slices in hard cheeses without tearing or crumbling the product.
