Jean Dubost Laguiole Cheese Knives

The set includes three specialized tools: the cleaver is ideal for hard cheeses like Parmesan or aged Gouda, the spear is perfect for semi-hard varieties like Cheddar or Gruyère, and the spreader is designed for soft, spreadable cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or goat cheese.

While these knives are manufactured to be dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with a gentle detergent to preserve the luster of the faux ivory handles and the finish of the stainless steel blades over time.

The faux ivory handles provide a smooth, comfortable grip that feels substantial without being heavy. They offer a classic, polished aesthetic that is more durable and easier to maintain than traditional wood handles.

The set features three distinct sizes: an 8.5-inch cleaver, a 9.25-inch spear, and a 6.25-inch spreader, providing a balanced range of tools for any cheese board arrangement.

These knives feature a straight edge that holds its sharpness well for standard cheese service. Because they are intended for slicing cheese rather than heavy-duty chopping, they should not require frequent sharpening, though a standard honing steel can be used if you notice a decrease in cutting precision.
