The Cheese Knife Guide

Do you see yourself as a bit of a cheese lover? If you do, then having the right cheese knives to maximise your cheese-eating experience is crucial. It may seem simple to slice this heavenly-sent food, but how which is the right knife to use with each cheese? No one wants to cut a brie with a cheddar knife right?

Which Cheese Knife should you be utilising?

 With endless types of cheese and cheese knives out there, selecting the right one for the right task can sometimes be very challenging. So, take a look below to impress your guests with an impressive cheese board with the right tools for the job.

Cheddar Knife

The cheddar knife used to cut one of the most popular types of cheeses: cheddar. This cheese knife has been crafted to cut hard cheeses, its cleaver shaped design featuring a wide blade to allow the user to utilise balance and force to push it downwards. Break out the crackers and a craft mustard to get the most out of your harder cheeses.

Soft Cheese Knife

The soft cheese knife is perfect for cutting – you guessed it – soft to semi-soft cheese. Working well on cheeses like camembert and brie, this knife bears holes in the blade to prevent the cheese from sticking. We recommend a tang fruity condiment with soft cheese - perfection!

Flat Cheese Knife

This cheese knife is designed to cut slices from aged cheese, with the user vertically holding the blade over the cheese before pushing downwards. Featuring a flat, paddle-like blade, this item is perfect for Swiss and Asiago cheeses.

Cheese Spreader

This knife features a rounded blade, making it perfect for applying cheese spreads onto crackers. With a dull edge, this knife works best on soft cheese like gorgonzola or cream cheese. Try a sweet chilli jam with your soft cheese to really make it sing!

Pronged Cheese Knife

The pronged cheese knife has multiple purposes, allowing the user to slice a piece of cheese and pick it up with the prongs. It features a narrow blade, the minimal surface area stopping soft cheese from sticking to it. As a product that works best on soft to semi-hard cheeses, this knife is ideal for parmesan and gouda.

Cheese Wire

This product offers a very comfortable handle and a fine wire for cleanly slicing a vast array of cheeses. Users simply have to place the cheese on a board and slice it vertically downwards. It’s perfect for tackling soft to semi-hard cheeses!
