Georg Jensen Acorn Cheese Bar Knife

Sterling silver will naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air. To maintain its luster, hand wash the knife with mild soap and warm water, dry it immediately with a soft cloth, and use a high-quality silver polish occasionally to remove any oxidation.

The pronged tip is specifically designed for semi-hard and hard cheeses, allowing you to easily spear and serve slices. It is less effective for very soft, spreadable cheeses, which are better suited for a traditional spreader.

No, this piece should be hand-washed only. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can damage the sterling silver handle and compromise the finish of the steel blade.

The pronged design functions similarly to a bar fork, making it useful for spearing garnishes like olives, citrus twists, or cocktail onions. Its elegant aesthetic also makes it a sophisticated tool for preparing drinks at a home bar.

As a vintage piece, it may show subtle signs of age or light patina consistent with its history. These characteristics are part of its charm and do not affect the functionality of the knife.
