Do you know cheese knives?Why is a cheese knife curved?

A cheese knife is a type of kitchen knife specialized for the cutting of cheese. Different cheeses require different knives, according primarily to hardness. There are also a number of other kitchen tools designed for cutting or slicing cheese, especially the harder types. These include the cheese cutter, cheese slicer, cheese plane and others.

▷Cheese knives are divided into soft and hard cheese knives.

▷Soft cheese knives

Soft cheese knives are designed to deal with the stickiness of soft cheese. When the cheese does not stick to the blade, it allows for pieces of cheese to be presented more attractively, with crisper shapes compared to cheese cut with standard knives.

The blades of cheese knives are usually made of a material such as stainless steel, which is resistant to the stickiness of cheese. Another design feature often found is the presence of holes in the blade to help to prevent the cheese from sticking to it. Some soft cheese knives also include a ridge, which runs vertically near the top of the blade. This helps separate the cheese as it is being sliced. Some cheese knives have a forked end, used for serving slices of cheese.

Most ordinary knives have a blade that is wide at the base and tapers to the tip. A cheese knife, on the other hand, may look similar to a cleaver in that it starts out thinner at the handle and then gets wider away from the base.[citation needed] Some cheese knives have angled handles to make an easier cut.

The non-sticky characteristics of a cheese knife also make them useful for cutting other sticky foods, such as cakes, eggs, and pies; compare also egg slicer.

▷Hard cheese knives

Hard cheese knives instead require a tough blade, which will not be damaged by the hard cheese. Exemplary is the distinctive Parmesan cheese knife, which is short, thick, and stubby, like an oyster knife. Another popular design is that of a large straight blade with handles on both ends so that a great amount of pressure may be applied.

▷Causes of bending

Cheese knives are curved to increase surface area for spreading soft cheeses. Unlike a butter knife, a cheese knife must be somewhat sharp for hard cheeses, as well as the cheese rind. A curved blade is a compromise between usefulness as a cutting and spreading utensil.

The curved, relatively dull knife commonly known as a ‘cheese knife’ isn’t accurate. That’s because while this knife is the most common knife used for serving cheese, there are actually a large variety of different knives that specialize in cheese.
