Know before you buy
The pronged end is specifically designed for serving and portioning semi-hard to hard cheeses. The prongs allow you to spear and lift slices easily, though it is not intended for cutting very soft, spreadable cheeses.
This knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish, hand wash the piece with mild soap and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Use a high-quality silver polish periodically to maintain the luster of the handle.
The hollow grind creates a thinner, sharper edge that reduces friction when slicing. This allows for cleaner, more precise cuts through firm cheese blocks.
Yes, sterling silver can tarnish when exposed to air and moisture for long periods. It is best stored in a tarnish-resistant cloth bag or a dedicated cutlery chest when not in use.
The 7.5-inch length is a standard size for a cheese knife, providing excellent leverage and reach for most serving platters. It is balanced well for both display and functional use during a meal.
