Description
This is a set of three iron cheese pieces in a brass colour: a cheese knife with a single broad blade, a two-pronged fork and a rounded spreader shaped like a small spoon. Each one rises from a beaded handle, a stack of rounded beads that runs from the tip of the handle to the head, and the surface is textured and slightly distressed, which gives the set an aged look rather than a polished shine. The pieces measure 14.5cm, 15cm and 16.5cm long and between 2.5cm and 3cm wide, so they are compact enough to rest on the edge of a cheese board without crowding it.
We think of these first for the cheese board. The knife cuts firm cheeses, the fork lifts a slice onto a plate, and the spreader takes soft cheese, butter or pâté onto crackers and bread. They suit a dinner party, a weekend grazing board, a picnic or a quiet supper for two, and they make an easy gift for someone who loves to host. Between meals they can sit in a bowl on an open shelf or inside a glass cabinet, where the brass colour and beaded handles look at home beside candlesticks and glassware.
Each piece is 100% iron with an electroplated finish in a brass colour. They are not for the dishwasher, so wash them by hand and dry them straight away: iron can rust if it is left wet. They are not for the microwave or the oven either, so keep them out of a baked cheese while it heats and bring them to the table once it is ready. The weight is 0.16KG. For serving, lay the three side by side next to the board in the order your guests will reach for them, or set each one into its own cheese before everyone sits down, so the beaded handles stand clear against wood or slate.

Frequently Asked
What does this cheese set include?
Three pieces: a cheese knife with a broad blade, a two-pronged fork and a rounded spreader, each on a beaded handle. The styling props shown are not included.
Are the pieces solid brass?
No. They are 100% iron with an electroplated finish, and brass is the colour of that finish rather than the metal underneath.
Can these cheese knives go in the dishwasher?
No. The maker says they are not for the dishwasher, so wash them by hand and dry them straight away, because iron can rust if it is left wet.
How big are the pieces?
The three pieces are 14.5cm, 15cm and 16.5cm long and between 2.5cm and 3cm wide, a compact size that rests easily on a cheese board.
Can I use the spreader for butter as well as cheese?
Yes. The rounded, spoon-like spreader suits soft cheese, butter or pâté, spread onto crackers, toast or fresh bread at the table.
Can they go in the microwave or the oven?
No. The maker says they are not for the microwave or the oven, so bring them to the table once a baked cheese is ready.
