Set of 3 Rust Brown Cheese Knives/Spreaders

Three cheese knives with rust brown agate handles: a wide flat blade, a spreader and a two-prong fork. Stainless steel tools, stone handles.

This agate is a warm red brown, and its banding runs in straight parallel lines along the length of the handle with darker streaks through it, so at a glance it reads like timber rather than stone. The face is polished flat and the outline is long with the corners taken off. Each handle is held in a metal band whose inner edge is cut in a row of scallops where it grips the stone, and that band is the same on every piece.

Size and Materials

• Three pieces: a wide flat blade, a spreader and a two-prong fork
• Handles: rust brown agate, warm red brown with straight banding
• Handle shape: long, with cut corners
• Tools: stainless steel
• Metal band around each handle, scalloped along its inner edge
• Finish: Gold, Silver or Rose Gold

Every piece uses natural stone, so slight variation in color, marking, shape and size will occur.

Using It

Put them out beside a cheese board: the wide flat blade cuts and lifts, the rounded one spreads, and the fork picks up the hard pieces. The steel is made for food; the handle is not, so keep it out of a long soak and do not leave food resting against it. Wash by hand and dry straight after. Never the dishwasher.

A Good Gift For

A housewarming or a holiday gift. The brown sits with a wooden board instead of against it.
