Windmühlenmesser 4" 'Meisterstück' Cheese Knife Stainless Cherry

Stainless steel angled blade with cherry wood handle. This is a wonderful knife for medium and hard cheeses, with extra space for your knuckles when slicing forward.  Also rely on this knife to slice some good looking charcuterie!

Robert Herder Windmühlenmesser knives are made in Solingen, Germany, and still utilize old hand-work techniques. Their fine, hand-ground blades are extremely light and ground thin- they offer a great cutting feel that is not possible with chunky, mechanized-ground blades. Paired with a slight convexity, it makes for reduced friction and sticking during cutting.

Windmühlenmesser has worked hard to establish an extensive apprenticeship program at their workshop.  There, craftspeople work to preserve old techniques that have nearly disappeared from Solingen.
