A chef knife is overkill and a butter knife is useless. The 6-inch cheese knife hits the right length for a full wedge of hard cheese while staying short enough to work a board properly when you're putting together a proper spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Right Blade for the Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard cheese needs a thin, sharp blade to cut cleanly without crumbling. Soft cheese needs the same thing plus speed, so the blade doesn't drag through the paste. The 10Cr15CoMoV core is vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, so this blade takes an edge sharp enough to slice a firm manchego without shattering it and fine enough to glide through a ripe camembert in a single stroke. Three layers of cladding keep the blade stiff enough to control the cut on a wedge that doesn't want to hold still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOlive Wood Handle, Light and Balanced\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural olive wood is denser than most handle timbers, which gives the handle enough weight to feel substantial without making the knife tiring to use on a long afternoon of putting together a grazing platter. The full-tang construction keeps the balance consistent, and the grain is tight enough to resist the oils and moisture that come with handling a soft washed-rind cheese. It won't look out of place on a board when you leave the knife with the platter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-layer 10Cr15CoMoV composite steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-inch cheese knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural olive wood, full-tang, riveted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slicing and portioning hard and soft cheeses, from aged cheddar and manchego to brie and camembert.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pin Series (X02O)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X02O-ZS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Pin Series 8\" Chef Knife for the rest of your prep, and the 5\" Utility Knife for small in-hand work around the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212337573939,"sku":"X02O-ZS","price":56.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/6-cheese-knife-pin-series-x02o-5335664.jpg?v=1776590951"},{"product_id":"6-inch-cheese-knife-supreme-series-x02-zs","title":"6\" Cheese Knife - Supreme Series (X02)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this when you're putting together a cheese board and you want to slice a wedge of aged cheddar cleanly, then move straight to a soft brie without it sticking to the blade.
