- mgiampapa 1y agoA Santoku or other knife with scalloped sides do well. There are also in fact, cheese knifes, for cutting and serving that are popular for self service cheese boards. Wire is also popular for cutting large block cheeses.
- rcpt 1y agoThere are cheese knives that are either very high aspect or have a holes so nothing will stick.
- tptacek 1y agoIronically, the cheeses I would cut with a chef's knife are exactly the ones that aren't going to stick to the knife. The ones that get messy are just as easy to cut with a butter knife. (Amusingly, butter is one of the demos in this video.)
