FAQs
What types of cheese are these knives best suited for?
The set is versatile and includes knives suitable for soft cheeses like goat cheese or brie, semi-hard cheeses, and hard cheeses such as parmesan. The varied blade shapes are designed to handle different textures effectively.
How should I clean the cheese knife set?
It is best to hand wash each knife with mild soap and warm water and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using a dishwasher or abrasive cleaning materials.
Are the gold handles prone to fading or chipping?
The gold finish is designed for durability, but like most plated items, it can be susceptible to scratches or wear if not cared for properly. Hand washing and avoiding abrasive cleaners will help maintain the finish.
What are the 'resin orbs' on the handles?
The resin orbs are decorative elements at the end of each handle, featuring subtle variations in green and blue shades, adding a unique artistic touch to the design.
Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?
No, to preserve the gold finish and the integrity of the resin orbs, it is strongly recommended not to put this set in the dishwasher. Hand washing is the preferred method.
Is this set part of a larger collection?
Yes, this cheese knife set is part of the 'Torchon' contemporary cutlery collection by Bitossi Home. Other pieces from the collection are available to create a cohesive dining set.
Troubleshooting
Gold finish appears dull or tarnished.
Gently polish with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If persistent, use a specialized non-abrasive cleaner for gold-plated items, following product instructions carefully and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Resin orb on handle is smudged.
Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which could damage the resin.
Knife blade is not cutting effectively.
Ensure the blade is clean and dry. For very hard cheeses, use the appropriate knife designed for firmer textures. For very soft cheeses, a gentle rocking motion may be more effective.
Suspected damage to the twisted handle.
Inspect the handle closely for any bends or breaks. If significant damage is found, consider it a decorative piece rather than a functional utensil and contact the retailer for potential replacement options if within warranty.
