Ideally suited for soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert or blue and other edible mould varieties: the narrow, sharp blade glides through the creamy cheese without pulling or crushing it. In addition, the classic holes in the blade of this Cheese Knife ensure that stickier cheese does not cling to it. Since the blade is extremely thin, it is not recommended for use on firmer, semi-hard cheeses; ideally, a hard Cheese Knife should be used for these.
