The striped handles are slim and light, so they suit serving tasks, and not heavy cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set pairs with the Echium salad servers for a matching table. Pair them with a marble or slate board and a small bowl of nuts and fruit. Hand wash the tools and dry them right away, and keep the handles out of long soaking. For a tasting, set the four tools in a row beside a flight of three cheeses and a small bowl of honey. In a restaurant, a second set lets staff swap the tools between tables. Wash soon after use, since salty and acidic foods can leave marks on steel, and dry the handles so the striped finish stays crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho this is not for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for cutting hard or frozen foods: these are serving tools, not kitchen knives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for the dishwasher: hand wash only to protect the handles and finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe clean after each use and dry with a soft cloth.
