FAQ
Q: Can I use this wooden knife for hard cheeses?
A: Our teak knife is specifically designed as a spreader for soft to semi-soft cheeses (like Brie, Camembert, or Feta), as well as dips and spreads. While the wood is incredibly strong, for very hard aged cheeses (like Parmesan), we recommend using it alongside a dedicated cleaver.
Q: Is it suitable for travel and camping?
A: Yes! It is incredibly lightweight and durable, making it a favorite for van life, luxury camping (glamping), and outdoor picnics where plastic-free dining is a priority.
Q: How do I maintain the smooth finish?
A: Hand-wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. To keep the grain looking rich and prevent drying, rub with a small amount of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax every few weeks. This maintains the natural antibacterial properties of the teak.
