What's included in the Artisan Cheese Knives Piega Set of 3?

A: The set includes three purpose-built tools: a pronged knife (1½” wide x 8” long) for slicing and serving semi-hard cheeses like aged cheddar or gouda, a spreader (¾” wide x 6¾” long) for soft and creamy cheeses, and a plane/serving knife (2” wide x 6¾” long) for shaving or plating harder wedges. Each piece is made from forged stainless steel with a matching twisted handle and teardrop end cap.

Are these cheese knives dishwasher safe?

A: Hand washing is recommended. Running them through a dishwasher risks dulling the blades and potentially damaging the dark oxidized finish on the twisted handles. A quick hand wash keeps them looking sharp for years.

What are the handles made of, and will they hold up with regular use?

A: The handles are forged stainless steel with a dark oxidized twisted finish — the same material as the blades, so there are no wood or resin components that can crack or warp over time. The one-piece construction means no loose handles or weak joints even after repeated use through a full cheese board.

Does this set come in a gift box?

A: The product data does not specify gift packaging. The set weighs 1.1 lbs and is an IWA exclusive, making it a distinctive find, but if presentation packaging is important for a gift, plan to box or wrap it separately.

Which knife do I use for which type of cheese?

A: The pronged knife is designed for semi-hard cheeses — it cuts clean slices and the forked tip lets you transfer pieces directly to a plate or cracker. The spreader is built for soft, creamy cheeses like brie or chèvre. The plane/serving knife works for semi-firm to hard cheeses where you want thin, even shavings rather than a full slice. Together they cover nearly every cheese style you'd put on an entertaining board.

How large are these knives — are they sized for a full entertaining board or more for individual place settings?

A: These are board-serving tools, not individual place-setting knives. The longest piece (the pronged knife) measures 8 inches end to end, and the spreader and plane each run 6¾ inches. They're sized to sit comfortably on a shared board and be passed around the table, not for individual diners to use at their place settings.
