DESCRIPTION

Reach for this when the cheese board comes out. A standard kitchen knife crushes soft cheeses: the blade sticks to the paste, the slice tears, and the presentation suffers. A dedicated cheese knife is narrower through the blade, lighter in the hand, and takes a thin enough edge to pass cleanly through brie or camembert without dragging the rind along with it.

Built for Soft Cheeses

The 5-inch blade is the right length for a whole wheel or a generous wedge. The core is 12Cr18MoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, vacuum heat-treated to 58-62 HRC. That edge holds sharp enough to cut cleanly through soft paste without compression, which is what makes the difference between a clean slice and a smear. The flowing Damascus pattern looks at home on a board beside a good shiraz.

Ebony Handle, Full-Tang Build

Ebony is a dense, oily hardwood that cleans easily when soft cheese gets into the handle. The full-tang construction keeps the balance even for a lighter blade, so the knife doesn't feel awkward in the hand when you're working at a low angle across a board. It's a knife you'll leave out rather than put away.
