Cheese knife
Cheese Knife
A cheese knife is a type of kitchen knife specialized for the cutting of cheese. Different cheeses require different knives, primarily according to hardness; most often "cheese knife" refers to a knife designed for soft cheese.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "cheese knife" is derived from the Old English word "ceese" (cheese) and the Middle English word "knif" (knife).
Types of Cheese Knives[edit | edit source]
There are several types of cheese knives, which are suitable for different types of cheese.
Hard Cheese Knife[edit | edit source]
A hard cheese knife is designed to cut through hard and semi-hard cheeses. It typically has a sharp point for piercing the rind and a wide blade for making clean slices.
Soft Cheese Knife[edit | edit source]
A soft cheese knife is designed for soft and creamy cheeses. It typically has a narrow, offset blade to prevent the cheese from sticking to the knife.
Cheese Slicer[edit | edit source]
A cheese slicer is a tool used to cut semi-hard and hard cheeses. It consists of a handle and a thin wire or blade for slicing. The cheese slicer was invented by Thor Bjørklund in 1925 in Norway.
