Brass and Stainless Steel Cheese Knife

This stainless steel and brass knife is made in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, which has been known as the home of cutlery since the Kamakura period.  It is suitable for semi-hard cheeses such as Comté, Emmental, Gouda, and Samsault, which are often served on the dinner table.  It is sharp and stable, and the handle is finished in brass, allowing you to enjoy the change in texture.

Please note:  brass is naturally resistant to corrosion, but like all metals will slowly oxodise and change in appearance with touch and with use and though exposure to moisture and oxygen in the air.  This process is part of the nature of the metal and brings with it a beautiful patina of use.  Over time the metal will darken and dull off in appearance.  If users wish to retain a bright polished look, ordinary metal polishes can be used with a soft cloth.  Excessive exposure to moisture may lead to more extreme corrosion such as bright green-blue to grey colourations which should be removed and avoided.
