Know before you buy
The set includes an angled spade for hard cheeses like Parmesan, a fork-tipped spear for firm varieties like cheddar or gouda, and a versatile knife specifically shaped for soft cheeses like brie or camembert.
The twisted handles are designed with a rustic, wrought-iron aesthetic that provides a secure grip. While they have a textured feel compared to smooth wood or plastic handles, they are balanced and comfortable for standard serving tasks.
To preserve the finish of the blackened steel handles and the sharpness of the stainless steel blades, we recommend hand washing these knives with mild soap and drying them immediately. Avoid using the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the unique handle finish over time.
No, the blackened steel is treated for durability and will not transfer any residue or metallic taste to your food. However, as with any high-quality metal kitchen tool, it is important to keep them dry to maintain their appearance.
Each knife in the set measures approximately 7⅛ inches in length, making them a standard, manageable size for serving at a dinner party or on a charcuterie board.
