David Mellor Black Handle Cheese Knife 13 5cm

The David Mellor black handle cheese knife, expertly designed by Corin Mellor, combines modern aesthet­ics with excep­tional func­tion­al­ity, exem­pli­fy­ing the pinna­cle of culi­nary crafts­man­ship. Part of the acclaimed Black Handle’ collec­tion, this knife is designed for both profes­sional chefs and discern­ing home cooks.

Crafted from high-carbon stain­less steel, the blade under­goes an inno­v­a­tive ice-hard­en­ing process at temper­a­tures as low as ‑80°C, ensur­ing unpar­al­leled sharp­ness and long-lasting dura­bil­ity. The taper-ground blade features an etched surface to prevent cheese from stick­ing, while the fork-tipped end makes serving hard and semi-hard cheeses effortless.

The knife’s handle, designed for optimal comfort and control, incor­po­rates an inter­nal back weight for perfect balance. Its sleek, contem­po­rary design comple­ments its excep­tional perfor­mance, making it a versa­tile addi­tion to any kitchen.

Presented in an indi­vid­ual David Mellor box, this cheese knife reflects the brand’s commit­ment to quality, crafts­man­ship, and elegant design.
