A block holding three cheese knives, each shaped for a different cheese, with acacia handles. Sits on the bench or the table rather than living in a drawer.
- Sustainably sourced acacia. A richly grained hardwood where no two boards carry the same pattern. Hard enough for heavy daily use, naturally antibacterial, and naturally resistant to moisture and wear.
- Stainless steel knives. Holds an edge, will not stain or corrode around acidic cheese, and washes clean.
- Finished to show the grain. Treated to bring out the colour and figure of the timber rather than bury it under a coating.
- Hand wash and dry. Timber does not belong in a dishwasher, and a wipe down keeps a board going for years.
- Oil it now and then. A wipe of food-safe mineral oil feeds the timber and keeps the grain from drying out. Do that and a board like this outlives most of the kitchen.
- Gift boxed. Arrives presentable, so it works as a present straight off the shelf.
