Different cheeses have different cutting needs, and this beautiful leather-bound set covers the full spectrum. The Soft Cheese Knife has a long, ultrathin blade to cut narrow wedges from wheels of brie or Camembert, with a fine edge and minimal surface area so the creamy cheese doesn't lose its shape under the pressure of the knife. The Cheesy Cheese Knife, which has holes reminiscent of Swiss cheese, is a middle-of-the-line knife that can slice anything from soft to semihard cheeses. And the holes aren't just decorative—they maintain airflow between the cheese and knife for a smoother cutting motion. For hard cheeses like Parmesan—which should be cracked, not cut—the Hard Cheese Knife in Boska's set has a subtly wedged blade that tapers from a thick spine to a fine cutting edge. This shape is ideal for piercing hard rinds and breaking off chunks of cheese, while the long weighted handle ensures a firm grip as you use the knife. All of the Monaco+ knives are made of a durable matte-finished stainless steel and feature a patented quilted texture that allows airflow and prevents cheese from sticking as you cut. This nonstick property makes all the difference for getting a clean slice every time. And unlike cheese slicers that have flimsy wooden handles, these knives are sturdier and more comfortable in the hand as well as dishwasher-safe.

This set of four cheese knives from INOX Artisans are equal parts striking and functional, made with heavy gauge stainless steel. Hand-forged with traditional blacksmithing techniques and blackened to look like twigs, this set of 4 cheese tools—a cheese knife, spreader, plane and shaver—balance luxury finish with comfortable use. The tools’ handles lie flat, so they won’t roll around on a cheese plate or board, while the heads are carefully shaped (or include large cut-outs, in the case of the shaver) to prevent cheese from sticking. Note that pitting is natural during the forging process; it adds to the cheese set’s beauty and organic look and feel.
