Each knife in the Morinoki series is lightweight and handmade with a design that balances functionality and warmth. The hard cheese knife features a spade-shaped blade, perfect for cutting parmesan, gouda or gruyere. Serated and designed with a gentle curve, the blade of the soft cheese knife is great for brie, chevre or stilton. The stainless steel blade is set in a wood handle made out of Japanese zelkova, a tree often enjoyed as a bonsai. Detailed attention is given to creating the handle’s smooth, rectangular shape to ensurea comfortable grip.
