The handle of this Wusthof 1039501012 Gourmet Cheese Knife is offset from the blade to provide knuckle clearance over the cutting block. The 5″ (12 cm) flat blade has an anti-stick etched design to discourage sticking. The total length, including the handle, is 9-1/2″. This is a semi-rigid knife designed for hard cheeses, and with a variety of other uses.
