Cheese is found in consistencies from the softest brie to the hardest parmesan and this knife is here to help you slice them all! This Wusthof 7" Cheese Knife is laser cut from a single piece of high carbon, stainless steel and has a stable blade and a sharp edge, ensuring a clean cut: ideal for hard cheeses such as Emmental, Gruyere, Comté and many Alpine cheeses, or for semi-hard cheeses such as Gouda, Edam or Tilsit, while a special etching on the blade prevents cheese slices from sticking to it.. The off-set design keeps knuckles clear of the board. Great tool for the buffet table or as a work horse in the kitchen.
