Parmesan knife - Cutting and Peeling

A parmesan knife is a specialized knife designed to cut parmesan, a hard and grainy cheese of Italian origin. The knife has a short, rigid and sharp blade that makes it easy to break the parmesan into pieces without reducing it to powder.

The blade of the parmesan knife can be straight or curved to facilitate the cutting of the cheese. Some models also have a fork-shaped blade at the end, which allows the parmesan pieces to be seared after cutting.
