Cheese Knives Are the Underrated Companion Every Cheese Board Needs

You’ve got the wine. You’ve got the cheese. You’ve got the wine glasses. You’ve got the cheese board. You’re set, right? Every charcuterie need you could possibly have is under control, right? Wrong—you’ve forgotten the cheese knives.

Now, I’d be lying if I said wine and cheese nights needed anything more than wine and cheese to be magical. Wine and cheese are two of life’s greatest gifts—even if you end up drinking that wine straight from the bottle, or eating that cheese straight off the rind. But there’s something about pouring that wine into stunning glassware and displaying that cheese on a beautiful cheese board that makes the entire affair feel extra-special. And cheese knives only further elevate the experience.

Because not only were you adult enough to buy wine glasses, and not only were you adult enough to own a cheese board, but you were so damn adult you managed to also stock up on cheese knives that pair beautifully with your cheese board. You’ve mastered the night (and rendered it even more Instagram-worthy than it already was).

Though buying cheese knives for yourself is an undeniably sophisticated move, buying them for friends is just as sensible. Because cheese knives make seriously great gifts. Got a friend who seems even more wine and cheese-obsessed than I’ve proven myself to be over the course of this article? Buy them some cheese knives. Seriously, they’ll love you for it—even if they have no idea what the different knives are even used for.
