Nepeta Gold-Tone Cheese Knife Set with Tapered Wood Handles

Three gold-tone cheese tools with tapered wood handles, so each type of cheese gets the right blade.

Nepeta is a three-piece cheese knife set with gold-tone blades and tapered handles in warm brown wood. The set includes a flat spade for firm cheeses, a bent-tip knife for wedges and a leaf-shaped knife for soft and semi-soft cheeses.

Each tool is about 7.5 inches long with a 2 inch wide blade, a size that suits a standard cheese board. The warm gold and wood combination suits transitional, rustic and modern tables, and looks good on dark slate and marble boards.

Planning notes

Lay the three tools on the board with the handles pointing out. The tapered wood handles are comfortable to hold, and the gold-tone blades stand out against dark boards.

The set pairs with the Nerine cheese set, which has rounded handles, if you want two distinct looks on a long table. Hand wash and dry right away, and keep the wood handles out of long soaking. For a gathering, set the three tools in a row beside the board with the spade nearest the hardest cheese. In a restaurant, a second set lets staff swap tools between courses. Keep the gold-tone blades dry between uses, since water spots show on the finish, and wipe them with a soft cloth. Keep a small cloth near the board to wipe the blades between cheeses, so flavors do not carry over from one cheese to the next.

Who this is not for

• Not for cutting hard or frozen foods: these are serving tools, not kitchen knives.
• Not for the dishwasher: hand wash only to protect the handles and finish.

Care

Wipe clean after each use and dry with a soft cloth. Hand wash only; avoid bleach and scouring powder.
