A classic cheese knife that works with a variety of cheese styles. The design is sturdy enough to work with hard cheeses, but is thin enough to work with softer cheeses. The buffalo horn handle is off set from the blade to avoid pressing your knuckles into the surface of the cheese.
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. Stand not included.
