Wusthof Gourmet Cheese Knife

This stainless steel Wusthof Gourmet cheese knife is designed to cut through a magnitude of cheeses from brie to Parmesan. The special etching on the 4.5" and 7" blades prevents the cheese from sticking, while the 5" blade accomplishes this with distictive holes. The flat edge provides more contact with the cutting board and precise control. The high-carbon stainless steel blade features a triple-riveted ergonomic black poly handle to provide you with maximum comfort even during extended use. The blade on this cheese knife, as with all Wusthof blades, is precision stamped and tempered in Germany from only the finest in German steel.
