Windmühle Cheese knife

Windmühlenmesser Cheese Knife Long Hole

A good cheese knife requires a high angled handle to allow for even pressure all the way to the bottom. Soft cheeses are primarily cut by pushing the blade almost vertically through. When the handle is higher than the blade, your fingers do not touch the cutting surface, allowing you to utilize the entire length of the blade. Unlike typical cheese knives, the blade is intentionally kept narrow. This reduces the surface area that the cheese can stick to, allowing it to release more easily from the blade. Ideal for cutting on a board for cheese and hard sausage.
