Set of 3 maple and stainless steel cheese knives 'Ghent'

Set of 3 different cheese knives from the ‘Ghent’ cutlery set made of stainless steel that has been brushed for a matt look and with a maple handle. The broad, conical knife helps break pieces off hard cheeses such as Parmesan, Pecorino and old, crumbly cheeses. The knife with holes in the blade is used for soft cheeses such as camembert and gorgonzola: the holes stop the cheese sticking to the blade. The curved knife with the forked point is used to cut and then poke and lift semi-hard cheeses such as red mould cheese and young cheeses. Maple is a hard, compact wood with a warm, atmospheric appearance. It does not absorb water so it will look good for ages. We recommend washing the blades by hand, the wood is not dishwasherproof. Tip: regularly treat the handles with some (linseed) oil as this nourishes and protects the wood. Rub the oil in using a soft cloth.
