Know before you buy
Yes. The thin, serrated blade is designed to glide through the firm rinds of aged cheeses while remaining gentle enough to slice through creamy, soft varieties without crushing them.
The cutouts reduce the surface area of the blade, which prevents soft or sticky cheeses from clinging to the steel. This ensures you get a clean, uniform slice every time.
The forked, speared tip allows you to easily pick up and serve individual slices of cheese directly from the board, keeping your presentation clean and hygienic.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the edge and the handle, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.
The superfine serrations are specifically engineered to cut through delicate rinds with minimal pressure. This prevents the knife from dragging or smearing the soft interior of the cheese.
