Soft cheese knives have one job: release the cheese cleanly without drag and without sticking. The Shizu Morinoki Soft Cheese Knife is designed specifically for this task, with a narrow blade profile, thin spine, and perforated or slotted blade geometry that reduces the surface area in contact with the cheese during the cut. The result is cleaner slices with less cheese adhering to the blade face - relevant for everything from brie and camembert to fresh chevre and burrata.
Built from DSR-1K6 Japanese stainless steel at 58-59 HRC with a keyaki wood handle, this is a well-made specialist tool at an accessible price. At 93mm blade length and 42g, it is compact and light - a natural addition to a cheese board setup or a kitchen that takes cheeseboards seriously. Pairs well with the Morinoki Hard Cheese Knife for a matched set that covers both ends of the cheese texture spectrum.
