Farmhouse Pottery Cheese Knives

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the hand-carved beech wood handles and the hammered stainless steel finish, they must be hand-washed with a non-citrus detergent and dried immediately with a soft cloth.

The set includes a cleaver for hard, aged cheeses, a standard knife for semi-hard varieties, and two spreaders of different sizes for soft cheeses, bries, and spreads.

Because the handles are made of natural, hand-carved beech wood, it is best to avoid soaking them in water. Periodically applying a food-safe wood oil can help keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out.

No, the brass rivets are functional. They are integrated into the design to securely fasten the tang of the blade to the wooden handle, ensuring the knives remain durable and sturdy during regular use.

The hammered finish is primarily an aesthetic detail that provides a rustic, artisanal look. It does not interfere with the functionality of the stainless steel blades, which are sharp and effective for slicing through a variety of cheese textures.
