Know before you buy
The set includes four unique blade shapes, making it versatile enough to handle everything from soft, spreadable bries and chevres to harder, aged cheeses like parmesan or cheddar.
While the stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with mild, unscented soap to maintain the mirror finish. Avoid using lemon-scented detergents or soaking them for long periods to prevent potential corrosion.
These knives are crafted from sturdy stainless steel, providing a balanced, substantial weight that feels professional and durable during daily use.
Like all polished stainless steel, the finish is durable but can show fine surface marks over time with regular use. Hand washing and drying promptly will help preserve the high-shine appearance for years to come.
No, the set does not include a storage case. Because of their sculptural, architectural design, they are often displayed on a cheese board or kept in a flatware drawer.
