Modernist Brass and Cane Wire Cheese Slicer Knife by Penchoen Originals, 1960s

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.

Located in New York, NY
Available today, this Midcentury Brazilian Modern Charcuterie Platter in Hardwood by Jean Gillon, is gorgeous!
