One of the very first things that I learned about when I decided to get serious about cooking (Read about what started it HERE) was knives. I wanted good ones. Nope, I wanted great knives. And I’ll tell you what, this doesn’t make a ton of sense, but having a fantastic knife set my cooking on fire, figuratively of course. I felt empowered. Like, with these knives, I am ruler over all things food, and I will create magic in this kitchen.
I know, you think this is ridiculous, but I’m serious. Beautiful, perfectly and carefully, hand crafted knives made me want to be better in the kitchen. So what better knife to start talking about with you than a cheese knife. Because cheese is glorious-these knives are glorious and now you are about to be glorious, by owning one of your own. YOU. ARE. WELCOME. (Actually, Wusthof personally supplied the knife, so you can thank them.)
Many people try the ol’ cheese slicer, and who knows, maybe I would like it too, but all I remember from growing up is our cheese slicer, with a little wire that would pop off all the dang time. It was nothing short of annoying. SUPER annoying.
This Wusthof cheese knife is perfection.
Why Should You Buy A Wusthof Cheese Knife?
- The cheese knife has a specially made pattern across the blade that keeps the cheese from sticking (soft and harder cheeses)
- Forged from one piece of especially tempered high carbon steel to ensure an outstanding endurance.
- Extraordinary sharpness which is easy to maintain.
- Special alloyed steel.
- Stainless.
- Seamless, hygienic fit of the handle.
- For professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts.
- Guaranteed against material and manufacturing defects.
Your Chance to Win Your Own Wusthof Knife
Comment on each person’s blog that I highlight throughout the week.
I stole this picture from Is This Really My Life. Hoping tomorrow’s post will help Emily forgive me 
And while we are talking about high quality, perfectly made objects, let’s talk about Barbara from Barbara Bakes.
Barbara is one of the first bloggers that I started following, and one of the first people to welcome me into the blog events world. She is talented, but very humble. Trust me, every single one of us could be a little more humble. She is kind, compassionate, open minded and generous. She is hard working, and honest. She not only wants to succeed because she loves and believes in her site, but because she knows that others could learn, grow and be happy if she puts up good content for you. Barbara also wants everyone around her to succeed. She’s not afraid to promote you, comment, leave love, etc.
Why Barbara Bakes is One of the Best
Ahhh now that (other than the ridiculously good food) is my favorite part about Barbara. She gets to know people. She knows about my family, she believes in me and others. She is not just a blogging friend. Barbara is a real life friend who wants to stay connected and take care of each other. I adore her. I adore her food. And I want you to as well.
This week is going to be a little different, but I’m hoping that my fellow bloggers will help me out with this week. Come back tomorrow to understand just what I mean. Seriously, this is going to be quite the telling week, and I need your help.
Will you be a love and go comment, like, follow etc? I know it will make Barbara feel so good.

My favorite cheese is cheddar! I would LOVE this knife.

So, I love Beehive Cheese's Full Moon Cheese, way good. I also love the Denmark Havarti from Harmons. It's my favorite with a handful of salty cashews and sliced apples. Best snack EVER! Oh, and I tweeted this, and I think I follow you on everything possible. So, whatever that adds up to.
Great giveaway, Carrian! ~ Mariel (www.oneshetwoshe.com)

My favorite readily available cheese is dill havarti, though I'd love to get back to Greece and eat the real feta.
I'd really love to try this knife because I typically buy Henckels, but have always wanted to compare. And, today is my birthday. Really.
[Reply]
My favorite cheese is sharp cheddar. I do love pepperjack also.
I own a couple of Wusthof Santoku knives and I LOVE them.

We love cheese in my house and we definitely need to add this knife to our collections.
One of my go-to cheese dishes is brie with thinly sliced apples on top, sprinkled with brown sugar and pecans. Bake it in the oven and eat it with some crusty bread. Heaven…

And of course I followed you on Pinterest as well

My Mom has a lot of Wusthof knives and boy are they nice! I LOVE Asiago and I always sprinkle a bit of shredded Asiago onto any pizza or cheesy casserole dish I make.
[Reply]
My favorite is Havarti Dill. I don't have this Wusthof knife and I think it would be great for my collection here in Wisconsin. I took a knife skills class and we received a paring knife with the registration. I loved the knives and have since gradually replaced all of my old knives. Wusthof is great! swidiger@aol.com

Can I tell you how much I LOVE these knives?? LOVE. My favorite cheese to snack on is Havardi, for sure.

Fave cheese = goat cheese (chevre). Fave cheesy dish = variety of cheeses, fruits, nuts, breads and jams all on a big ol' serving tray. Does that count?!?!

Asiago is one at the top of my list …and one of my favorite dishes with cheese is my ow version of pork enchiladas with loads of cheese both inside and out.
[Reply]
I LOVE CHEESE! My favorite is tillamook medium cheddar cheese. I know it is so simple and plain, but it is my go to cheese. I am also a fan of colby jack and gorgonzala, but good old cheddar is my fav. I would love to try this knife!
[Reply]
I like brie best. Either baked in phyllo dough with cranberry marmalade or any chutney, or more simply – smeared on an english muffin and toasted in the toaster oven. Heaven!

[Reply]
My favorite cheese is probably provalone, love it with deli meat, some sprouts, and avacado – it's the perfect lunch! My favorite cheese dish would have to be swiss cheese fondue…..that's something that once I get started, I just can't stop!!!

Barbara is the best and I'm already a stalker! I have a great set of knives and you are so correct about how good knives can make such a difference when cooking. Or maybe because the eliminate the hassle, they are more of a silent partner! Great giveaway but if I should be chosen, please pick someone else…I have all the hardware I can possibly store!

love tilamook aged cheddar and then homemade mac-n-cheese
[Reply]
I too love cheese and can't think of a favorite, I do love a good sqeaky cheese
. But this knife looks awesome, maybe it would cure me of having to buy presliced cheese, because I can never get a good slice off of the block, so frustrating!!
[Reply]
Goat cheese, which of course doesn't really need a cheese knife, is by far my favorite, but I've never met a cheese I didn't like! And I can't wait for tomorrow!
[Reply]
My favorite cheese? That's just too hard. I could no sooner choose a favorite star in the sky. Ha! Any cheese is good with me. Cheddar, havarti, mozzarella, you name it.

I love cheese almost as much as I love you and Barbara. My fave is probably a nice, sharp cheddar. Mmm…
Also, everyone should follow/like/tweet you and Barbara. It would make the world a happier place.

My favorite cheese at the moment is SeaHive from Beehive Cheese Company. Man, it's good.
I'd love to win this knife. We eat way too much cheese at our house not to try this out!

What a great knife! I thought I had a whole collection, but I don't own a cheese knife. Love it!
[Reply]
You are so sweet! I'm not sure all of it's true, but thank you for saying it. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve for the rest of the week.
I'd love to have a cheese knife. I loved that Tillamook Pepper Jack cheese we sampled.
[Reply]
My favorite cheese? So many to choose from…
I recently made a wonderful spinach salad with honey balsamic dressing, almonds, bacon, and crunchy onion pieces and topped with crumbled, creamy goat cheese.
I own one Wusthof knife (chef's) and it is by far the best knife I have. I'd *love* to have another Wusthof…

Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I'm impressed! Extremely helpful info specifically the last part
