Why You Need A Cheese Knife
The Perfect Cheeseboard, Perfectly Sliced
A cheeseboard is a masterpiece that requires careful planning, expert curation, and attention to detail. However, without the right tool, all your hard work may go to waste. The kitchen knife you use may be too large and unwieldy, while the table knife lacks the finesse to glide through a soft cheese. That's where the world of cheese knives comes in. At the House of Knives, we understand the importance of having the right tool for the job.
The Basics of Cheese Knives - Find The Right Knife For Your Cheese
Cheese knives come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making it challenging for beginners to know which knife to use for different types of cheese. But fear not, we have got you covered! Let's take a look at the different types of cheese knives available.
Soft Knife - "Creamy Cheese, Effortless Slicing"
Soft cheeses can be a challenge to cut, as they tend to stick to utensils. A soft cheese knife is designed to alleviate this problem, with a thin blade that enables smooth and effortless slicing.
Offset Knife - "Versatile, Strong, and In Control"
If you are looking for a single knife that can handle both soft and firm cheese, the offset knife is the way to go. With a stronger blade that can handle sturdy cheese and an offset handle that provides room for your knuckles and hands, you'll have leverage, control, and consistently clean cuts.
Pronged Cheese Knife - "The Multi-Purpose Cheese Knife"
The pronged cheese knife is a versatile tool that can handle both firm and soft cheese. With a thicker blade than a soft cheese knife, it is strong enough to cut through aged cheddar and soft enough to handle feta. The pronged tip also makes it easy to serve cheese or take a closer look.
