Know before you buy
No, you should hand wash this set. The handles are made of natural European beech wood, and the dishwasher will cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its finish over time.
The fork is designed with a specific shape that allows you to rest the knife blade across it. This keeps your knife off the table or cheese board surface when not in use, helping to keep your serving area clean.
The blade is made from durable, rust-resistant stainless steel. However, to maintain its longevity and sharpness, it is best to dry the knife thoroughly immediately after hand washing rather than letting it air dry.
This set is versatile enough for most cheese boards. The sharp blade is effective for slicing through both firm, aged cheeses and softer varieties, while the fork makes it easy to spear and serve individual portions.
To keep the beech wood handles in top condition, avoid soaking them in water. If the wood begins to look dry after extensive use, you can lightly rub them with a food-safe mineral oil to nourish the grain.
