This handmade cheese knife was designed in collaboration with Alberto Marcomini, an expert Italian affineur. Each knife in his collection was simply designed with a specific cheese in mind, and without excessive design flourishes. This knife is designed to easily cut through semi-hard cheeses such as Montgomery Cheddar or Pecorino Rosso. The knife is forged using AISI 420 stainless steel and the handle is made from Tuscan olive wood. The knife is just over 11 1/4 inches long.
While dining in Verona at 12 Apostoli, we fell in love with the tableware and had to track it down. It turned out to be hand made by the craftsmen of the Saladini family in Scarperia just north of Florence. Scarperia is an ancient medieval village built by the Florentine Republic in the 14th century. It is known as "the town of knives" and justifiably so, as the art of manufacturing fine knives has been ongoing since the village was first settled. Their knives use the highest quality stainless steel and natural materials such as ox horn, water buffalo horn and Tuscan olive wood for their handles.
