Know before you buy
The set includes a wide knife for spreading soft cheeses like brie, a flat, narrow knife for portioning semi-hard cheeses such as gouda, and a pronged knife designed to pierce and break off pieces of hard, aged cheeses like parmesan.
No, these knives should be hand washed only. To maintain the integrity of the matte black finish, avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
The flattened handles are designed to provide a secure, ergonomic grip, making it easy to maneuver through different cheese textures while maintaining a sleek, modern profile.
While the stainless steel is durable, the matte black finish requires gentle care to prevent surface scratches. We recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and avoiding harsh scrubbing to keep the finish looking pristine.
Each knife in the set measures 0.2 inches deep and 6.5 inches wide, making them a compact and elegant addition to any cheese board or serving platter.
