How do I use a cheese knife with two handles?

Features of the two-handled cheese knife

The two-handled cheese knife is designed primarily for professional cheese-makers, for cutting wheels of cheese and hard or semi-hard cheeses. It is a must-have knife for cheese makers, featuring a wide, sturdy blade and two overmolded handles. The double handle ensures a firm grip on your knife, for precise, clean cutting of your cheeses, while protecting your hands from the risk of cuts. With this utensil, you can exert strong pressure with both hands or with the support of your body.

Cheese knives with two handles can be very large. In fact, while there are models with a 15 cm blade, this one can be up to 60 cm long. It can be used to cut even the largest cheeses by means of a tilting movement, and its robustness ensures great durability. The tilting motion is facilitated with curved-blade knife models.

Using the double-handled cheese knife

The cutting power offered by the two-handled cheese knife can be used to cut :

- Large whole wheels of cheese

- Hard or semi-hard cheeses such as Emmental, Tomme de Savoie or Comté

- Slabs of desserts or large cakes

Like all knives, the two-handled cheese knife needs to be sharpened to maintain its cutting edge. To achieve this, you can sharpen it regularly, using a rifle or an electric sharpener for example. In addition, always use a cutting board to preserve the edge of the blade for longer.
