Ice Beech or “Eisbuche” is one of the most distinctive woods you will ever find. Created with sustainable practices from beech trees of the Black Forest, Ice Beech is created as the wood undergoes a natural process involving extended exposure to cold weather and moisture to produce its uniquely veined character and rich contrast.

Thinly and sharply ground by hand, this cheese knife can effortlessly cut both soft camembert and hard salami and everything in between. Its angular shape is designed to protect fingers from contact with the cutting board.

Best used for: a range of cheese and hard cured sausage, cutting on a chopping board.

In contrast to most of today's knives, Robert Herder still makes their knives in Solingen, Germany using traditional and laborious “thin grinding” techniques since 1872, where the blade is ground to be quite slender and very pointed towards the cutting edge. The result is remarkable sharpness and edge retention, and really is a pleasure to use.
