Ergonomic Spoon Cheese Knife - QUEEN BESS II

The ORIGINAL Ergonomic Heart‑Handle Spoon Cheese Knife — handcrafted from a 1946 Tudor Plate Queen Bess II vintage serving spoon. This design has been a Laughing Frog Studio signature since 2018, created from scratch in our little workshop and refined through years of hands‑on making.  

Born from a late‑night studio experiment, this upcycled silverware cheese knife became one of our most recognizable pieces. When we first introduced it, there was nothing else like it — a true original in both form and function.

HANDcrafted from an upcycled vintage serving spoon, each knife blends sustainability with thoughtful, functional design. 

• The heart‑shaped ergonomic handle — complete with our original finger‑indent design — offers a comfortable grip and direct downward pressure for easier, safer cutting of firm cheeses. Functional, sustainable, and unmistakably handmade.
• The blade of this knife is hand-forged in our studio - remember, this piece began life as a spoon. 
• Ideal for Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Gouda, Salami, Spanish Chorizo and more. 

This charcuterie knife adds a standout touch to any board or table setting. Guests notice it immediately, pick it up, admire the details, and ask where it came from.

Every piece is cut, shaped, bent, sharpened, and finished entirely by hand. No two knives will ever be exactly alike — that’s the beauty of upcycled silverware and the hallmark of a true Laughing Frog Studio original.

For all of our designs we choose wonderful authentic vintage/antique silverware — giving each piece a second life as eco-friendly, upcycled jewelry, accessories or housewares. Once chosen, the pieces are modified and beautified by HAND; they are cut, drilled, filed and polished, etc. We do not cast/mold any of our designs, they are all handmade, one-of-a-kind creations. All of our creations are handmade - as such no two items are exactly alike.   

Condition: Please note, this is an antique item that was once used as a utensil. As a result, there may be some wear to the silver-plate, fine scratches or marks from use. But some wear gives the piece patina and personality. We do our best to disclose any condition issues of note.
