Each handle is a slice of banded stone in warm gray and tan, set on a polished nickel blade. The banded stone handles have a soft brown and gray tone, and the polished nickel blades are slightly different shapes, so the set looks designed rather than generic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace all three beside a cheese board at a dinner, a restaurant tasting or a hotel lounge. The stone handles give each knife a slightly different pattern, and the polished nickel suits Transitional and Modern tables. The warm stone handles make each knife different, so the set looks like it was chosen piece by piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metropolitan Decor Essentials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass, stainless steel, stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish \/ Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished nickel with banded gray and tan stone handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e This item does not require assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number:\u003c\/strong\u003e MD-MDE-20438\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDinner party:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set beside a cheese board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine bar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offer a trio of knives for a tasting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHotel lounge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve an evening cheese plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGift:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair with a marble board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlanning notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive each cheese its own knife to keep flavors apart.
