Nerine Gold-Tone Cheese Knife Set with Rounded Wood Handles

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

Nerine is a three-piece cheese knife set with gold-tone blades and smooth, rounded 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 rounded handles feel comfortable in the hand and suit transitional, rustic and Scandinavian tables.

Planning notes

Lay the three tools on the board with the handles pointing out. The rounded wood handles roll less than a round dowel, but set them on a flat board so they stay put.

If you want a second look for a long table, pair this set with the Nepeta cheese set, which has tapered handles. Hand wash and dry right away, and keep the wood handles out of long soaking. Pair them with a wood or marble board and a bowl of nuts. For a gathering, set the tools in a row with the spade nearest the hardest cheese. In a hotel lounge, a set on each cheese plate saves staff time. Keep the gold-tone blades dry between uses, since water spots show on the finish, and wipe them with a soft cloth. The handles fit a range of hand sizes comfortably.

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

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry right away. Keep handles out of long soaking and skip abrasive pads.
