Prodyne K-3-A  Set of 3 Cheese Knives, wood handle
Properly cutting cheese requires specialized tools, as any partygoer confronted by a wheel of Stilton and a butter knife knows. This set cuts all cheeses with precision and without mess. The set's pointed knife will break up that Stilton into consumable pieces and accomplish the same with aged cheddars, Parmesans, and pecorinos--any hard, firm, or crumbly cheese. A narrow-bladed knife cleanly slices pieces from blocks of semisoft and semifirm cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, jack, and Jarlsberg. A wide-bladed knife works the same for soft, crumbly cheeses. The three knives run from 5-inches overall to 5-1/4-inches. With their light-finish handles and polished blades they kick a party's get-it quotient up more than a notch.--Fred Brack
