Cheese knife gude Alpha 15 cm blade, POM black handle, model 1290/15

gude Alpha 15 cm cheese knife with a black POM handle is designed for controlled cutting and serving of a range of cheeses. The compact 15 cm blade provides precise portioning for semi-soft to semi-hard cheeses while the ergonomic black POM handle ensures a comfortable grip and durability suitable for repeated household or professional use. The knife combines a straightforward blade geometry with materials chosen for routine kitchen cleaning and dependable handling during food-service tasks.

Advantages

The 15 cm blade length is balanced for accurate slices and small portions without excessive food waste. The POM handle resists moisture and provides a non-slip, comfortable hold during repetitive cutting tasks. Construction and finishing are focused on everyday usability: easy to clean surfaces, stable handling, and a blade profile that helps separate slices cleanly from the wheel or block.

Suitable for

• Cutting and serving semi-soft cheeses such as young Gouda, Havarti, and Camembert
• Portioning semi-hard cheeses like Cheddar or Emmental into controlled slices
• Household kitchens for everyday cheese preparation and serving
• Small catering or food-service environments requiring reliable, easy-to-clean cutlery

Key specifications

• Blade length: 15 cm
• Blade type: compact cutting blade suitable for portioning cheeses
• Handle material: black POM (polyoxymethylene) for durability and moisture resistance
• Handle shape: ergonomic, non-slip profile for comfortable grip
• Intended use: cutting and serving semi-soft to semi-hard cheeses

How to use

Hold the handle firmly and position the blade so that the cutting edge engages the cheese with a steady downward motion. For semi-soft cheeses, use a gentle sawing action if necessary to avoid deformation; for semi-hard cheeses, apply even pressure for clean slices. After cutting, lift portions with the blade or transfer using a serving implement. Rinse or wash the knife promptly after use following normal kitchen hygiene practices.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid cutting frozen cheeses or using the knife on hard, aged wheels beyond its intended range. Clean the POM handle with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly; do not expose the handle to prolonged high heat or harsh chemicals to maintain its appearance and mechanical properties.
