Are you hosting for the holidays? I am. And I am very happy to have a new set of cheese knives, because my old ones were looking a little cheesy. To say the least.
I discovered French Home at the specialty food show at the Javits Center this fall. They gifted me this five-piece Laguiole set with tortoise shell handles, and it’s been sitting on my shelf for quite some time. Holiday hosting is its moment.

What’s in the set
Five assorted knives, and each one has its own job:
- a cheese fork
- a gourmet spreader
- a cheddar/parmesan knife
- a pronged soft cheese knife
- a multipurpose pronged cheese knife
The handles are the traditional Laguiole shape: curved, three rivets, with the little bee emblem. Stainless steel and resin, and dishwasher safe, which honestly matters most after a party.
On the board
The cheese was gifted by World’s Best Cheeses, and the knives got their workout: one for the wedge, one for the round, the spreader for anything that needed spreading. Apple slices, mandarins, pretzels and a little prosciutto filled in the gaps. That is the whole recipe.
An easy gift
If you are not hosting, this is an easy gift for someone who is. Anyone with a cheese board needs proper knives, and my old set is proof that people use the wrong ones for years.
French Home gifted the cheese knives and asked me to post about them. World’s Best Cheeses gifted the cheese. The cheesy joke is my own.
