Thanks. That makes it a bit clearer. So the knife I showed is
actually a server cheese knife which begs the question, once the
person puts the cheese on his/her plate then what do they use to eat
the hard cheeses?

If I understand you right then the butter knife is used for soft
cheeses or is there a separate cheese spreader knife?
