Pointed blade and wooden handle: construction details

The distinctive feature of this knife is the pointed blade, designed to penetrate compact cheeses with precision and to easily detach flakes and portions even from the most matured wheels. The point allows you to work the rind, lift portions and serve the cheese directly to the customer without crushing it, keeping the structure and appearance of the product intact.

• Stainless steel blade: corrosion-resistant, it keeps its edge over time and ensures a clean and hygienic cut.
• Sharp point: ideal for piercing, lifting and serving portions of compact cheese.
• Natural wooden handle: a warm, ergonomic and non-slip grip, pleasant to the touch and with a strong artisanal character.
• Light weight (approx. 50 g): handy and suitable for repeated use during service.
• Compact format: easy to store, transport and include in tasting sets.

Uses: hard and semi-hard cheeses

The pointed knife performs at its best with hard and semi-hard cheeses, where a robust and precise tool is required. It is perfect for grana, sbrinz, gruyère, matured alpine cheeses, pecorino and tome, as well as for semi-hard cheeses such as raclette, appenzeller, tilsiter and fontina.

Maintenance and care

To preserve both the blade and the wooden handle over time, hand washing with lukewarm water and a neutral detergent is recommended, avoiding prolonged soaking and the dishwasher, which can damage the wood and dull its finish. After washing, it is important to dry immediately with a soft cloth to avoid streaks and water stagnation.
