Ideally suited for soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, and blue, the WÜSTHOF Classic 5" Soft Cheese Knife's sharp, narrow blade glides through creamy curds and tough outer rinds without pulling, tearing, or crushing. What's more, small holes in the blade create tiny air pockets, which ensures that stickier cheese does not cling to the knife during slicing. Since this soft cheese knife's blade is extremely thin, it is not recommended for use on firmer, semi-hard cheeses.
