Know before you buy
The set includes a cleaver for hard cheeses like cheddar or gruyere, a versatile knife for soft cheeses and serving, and a petite spreader specifically for creamy cheeses like brie or chèvre.
No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish of the brushed gold blades and the integrity of the handcrafted wooden handles, they must be hand-washed with mild detergent and towel-dried immediately.
To keep the wood in good condition, you should periodically apply a food-safe wood oil. This prevents the handles from drying out and maintains their natural luster.
These knives are not rust-resistant. Because they feature a brushed gold stainless steel finish, it is important to hand-wash and thoroughly dry them after every use to prevent spotting or corrosion.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, so you should expect slight variations in the wood grain and handle shape. These unique characteristics are part of the artisanal charm of the set.
