Cheese Knife Set

About this find

This cheese knife set from Year & Day includes two pieces: a sharp cheese knife that measures 9.25 inches long and a cheese spreader that measures 6 inches long. Together they cover firm wedges and soft rounds, so your board has the right tool for each. It is a simple, polished pair made for serving guests.

Both pieces are hand-finished and made of European 18/10 stainless steel. They come from a family-owned factory in Portugal, in a region that has been making flatware for nearly one hundred years. The longer knife gives you reach across a big board, while the shorter spreader suits creamy cheeses and soft toppings.

Cleanup is simple, since the set is dishwasher safe. Wash soon after use, and choose an anti-abrasive, non-citrus detergent. If you have the Matte Black or Matte Gold finish, take the pieces out of the dishwasher soon after the cycle ends and dry them completely. Set the spreader beside a soft cheese and the knife beside a firm one.

The pairing works well on a classic cheese and charcuterie spread. Add crackers, sliced bread, fruit or cured meats around the cheeses, and let guests help themselves. A small, well-made set like this keeps the board tidy and gives you two dependable tools to bring out whenever you serve cheese.
