Know before you buy
The set includes a 2.75-inch knife for hard cheeses like Parmesan, a 5.5-inch knife with a fork tip for semi-hard cheeses like Cheddar or Gouda, and a 5.5-inch perforated blade specifically designed to prevent soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert from sticking.
While the 18/10 stainless steel is durable, hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and sharpness of the blades over time.
The fork tip on the semi-hard cheese knife allows you to easily spear and serve slices or chunks of cheese directly from the board to a plate without needing a separate serving utensil.
The holes in the blade reduce the surface area that comes into contact with the cheese, which significantly minimizes friction and prevents soft, creamy cheeses from sticking to the knife.
Yes, the entire construction, including the handles, is crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, providing a sleek, uniform look and a balanced feel in the hand.
