About the Item

Elegant, modernist wire cheese knife in solid brass with cane-wrapped handle designed by Penchoen Originals of Sturgis, Michigan. Often misattributed to either Tommi Parzinger or Carl Aubock, but for obvious reason - - its style and construction rival those of both designers. Original condition with patina and desirable character throughout. Signed to handle as shown. Ideal gift for the cheesemonger.
