An attractive and functional cheese knife
The Guillaume Leonard Cuistot 12cm cheese knife is designed to combine cutting comfort with meticulous presentation. Its honeycombed blade reduces sticking of soft cheeses, and its kiritsuke tip ensures smooth insertion into cheeses. Its compact size and sober design make it the ideal tool to accompany all your platters, from Brie to Comté, with style and precision. A useful and elegant accessory, delivered in a protective storage case.
A versatile blade for all your cheeses
Measuring 12cm, the blade is made from German 1.4116 stainless steel, an alloy enriched with chromium and nitrogen, renowned for its resistance to corrosion and reliability in use. This steel is highly appreciated for everyday kitchen knives.
With a hardness of around 56-58 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade retains its sharpness efficiently while remaining easy to sharpen. It offers a good compromise between performance and ease of maintenance, ideal for slicing a wide variety of cheeses.
The honeycombed blade prevents soft cheeses from sticking, while making them easier to serve. A kiritsuke tip at the end of the blade makes it easy to insert into all types of cheese, including pressed and cooked cheeses.
Its flat edge ensures a clean, controlled cut, whether you're left- or right-handed. The blade's polished finish makes it easy to clean and gives it a sober look. It is discreetly signed with the Guillaume Leonard logo, a guarantee of seriousness.
A comfortable traditional handle
Made from dense red sandalwood, the handle is naturally resistant to humidity and pleasant to the touch. It offers a warm, natural and timeless aesthetic.
Its rounded Western palm shape ensures a natural, ergonomic grip, even when cutting repeatedly. It offers comfort and stability, whatever the conditions.
The stainless steel bolster reinforces the knife's overall balance and ensures safety when cutting. Three stainless steel rivets securely fasten the inserts to the tang, for added strength.

Taking good care of your cheese knife
To prolong the life of your cheese knife, remember to wash it only by hand, using neutral soap and a non-abrasive sponge. The dishwasher is forbidden, as is prolonged soaking in water. Dry it immediately after use and store it in a dry place, such as its case, a knife block or a magnetic bar.
