Q: How does a butter-grating knife work?
This butter knife grates cold butter into thin ribbons as you draw the blade across it; because the strands are so thin, they soften quickly for spreading, unlike a solid pat of butter.
09A0404 - Butter Grating & Spreading Knife
If you've ever tried to wait out cold, hard butter chunks on your rapidly cooling toast, you know it’s just not the best way to start the day. That's why we like this knife that lets you spread butter straight from the fridge.
As you draw the blade across the surface, thin ribbons of butter spiral through the small grating holes and collect on the blade, and because they’re so thin, the butter strands soften more quickly for spreading. The opposite edge of the blade is serrated for cutting.
Slightly longer than 8" and made of stainless steel, this is an excellent alternative to a regular butter knife.

Yes, the edge opposite the grating holes is serrated for cutting, so the same butter knife handles both jobs.
It's made of stainless steel and measures slightly longer than 8" overall, a comfortable size for everyday use.
Instead of waiting for a solid pat to soften, this one grates butter into thin ribbons that spread easily right from the fridge, saving the wait on cold toast.
