The Sha Ra Ku Mono cheese knife's unique, eye-catching form isn't just for show—this is the perfect tool for brie and parmesan alike. Carefully engineered for both hard and soft cheeses, it can also take on one of the most notorious challenges in the kitchen: tomatoes.

Function

Ultrafine serrations (35 per inch) effortlessly saw through hard cheeses and tough rinds in addition to tomato skins, infamously difficult to cut cleanly with a plain-edged knife. The thin blade chops like butter through softer cheeses while three elliptical cutouts provide easy release by breaking suction between the blade and cheese slice. A forked tip allows you to serve and snack while you cut.

Form

Sha Ra Ku Mono blades are forged from molybdenum-vanadium alloy stainless steel, which finely balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This material is slightly softer than the VG-10 steel used in other Tojiro knives and significantly harder than European knife steels.

The handle is made from hollow 18/8 stainless steel, crafted with the blade as a single piece. Much like a traditional wooden wa handle, its light weight keeps the knife's balance farther forward than on European knives. The ergonomic shape allows it to be gripped either by the handle or with a more versatile pinch grip.
