Silene Gold-Tone Cheese Knife Set with Slim Marble Handles

Three gold-tone cheese tools with slim white marble handles, so each cheese gets the right blade.

Silene is a three-piece cheese knife set with gold-tone blades and slim handles in white marble with a thin gold collar. 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 slender handles suit modern, glam and transitional tables and look refined on slate, wood and marble boards.

Planning notes

Lay the three tools on the board with the handles pointing out. The slim handles have a lighter feel than the rounded Scilla set, so choose Silene if you prefer a more delicate look.

Natural marble varies in veining, so each set differs slightly. Pair with white and gold serveware, and hand wash and dry right away. Avoid long contact with acidic foods on the handles, and store the tools flat in a drawer lined with felt. For a wine night, set the tools in a row beside a slate board with a few cheeses and a small dish of honey. 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, and wipe them with a soft cloth.

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.
