Tormentil Four-Piece Cheese Knife Set with Ivory-Tone Handles

A four-piece cheese knife set that covers soft, hard and sliced cheeses so one board serves a whole table.

Tormentil is a four-piece cheese set for the host who builds boards: a spade, a cleaver-style knife, a two-prong fork and a spreader, each with a smooth ivory-toned bone handle and a polished nickel collar. Lay the set beside a board at a dinner party, a wine bar tasting or a hotel lounge.

The slim handles sit lightly in the hand and the stainless blades stay clear of the board surface when laid flat. Because the handles are natural bone, each one varies slightly in tone. The set stores flat in a drawer or upright in a crock, so it is easy to keep with your board.

Where to use it

• Dining room: Sits beside a board at a dinner party so guests can serve themselves.
• Wine bar or tasting room: Gives each cheese its own tool at a flight or pairing table.
• Hotel lounge: Fits a welcome cheese plate in a suite or club room.
• Kitchen: Stays in a drawer or crock as the dedicated cheese set.

Planning notes

Match the set to the board: a light marble or pale wood board lets the ivory handles blend, while slate or dark walnut makes them stand out. Give each cheese its own piece to keep flavors separate.

Pair with a small dish of nuts, fruit or honey so the fork and spreader each have a job on the board.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not for heavy cutting: the blades suit cheese serving rather than chopping.
• Bone handles should not be soaked.

Care

Wipe clean; hand wash only. Dry the bone handles promptly and avoid soaking to protect the natural material.
