Finally, a set that works together for all types of cheese. The cheese plane (far left) is perfect for evenly "planing" medium to hard cheeses. The mini-Santoku (far right) will break apart hard cheeses like Parmesan and Romano. Finally, the cheese and tomato knife (center) gets rave reviews for soft cheeses (brie, mozzerella, and goat) because they won't stick to the side of the blade. All tools have stainless steel tool heads and large, soft-grip handles. All are dishwasher safe (I prefer to hand-wash all cutlery) and carry a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.
