Artisan Cheese Knife Set


This cheese set represents the vision of one cheese guru, Alberto Marcomini, an Italian known as one of the world's top cheese experts. The set of cheese knives includes a hard cheese knife, fork tipped service knife, large semi-hard cheese knife and a soft cheese knife in one side of a large box. The other side holds a small semi-hard cheese knife, marbled and soft cheese knife, cheese spreading spatula, Parmesan knife, two-handled Coltella knife and a serving fork. The entire comes in a pine presentation box with leather straps and the box lid serves as a cutting board and presentation tray. The ultimate set for making a professional display of fine cheeses. It sells for $2,000.

Shun U2 Utility Knife

One knife does it all. The latest knife from Shun, the U2 Utility knife is an all-purpose knife with a combination straight/scalloped blade that can handle soft surfaces like tomatoes as well as harder tasks like bread slicing. The knife also has a blunt tip that can be used as a spreader, making sandwich making a one knife task. It has a VG-10 steel blade clad with 16 layers of stainless steel and a black PakkaWood® handle with ergonomic D shape. The knife sells for $99.95.

Unique Cutlery by Zaha Hadid


I, for one, am a fan of understated design elements -- the things that don't jump out, but get admired more by chance by people who notice details. And as far as I'm concerned this cutlery set designed by architect Zaha Hadid, with the fluid and unique design, is one of those items. Artistic yet surprisingly simple and functional, the two spoons are my favorites. They seem fun to use but in a sophisticated way -- reminding me of grown-up versions of the silly-straw, but without the cheap plastic and obnoxious colors.

The $250 set should be available starting this month, but with a very limited U.S. distribution.

Saladini Cigar Cutter

This cigar cutter from Italian company, Saladini cutlery is probably overkill but I love the positively lethal look of this device. One imagines that in a ganger movie it could be used to great effect. The cigar cutter is made in Tuscany and has an olive wood base and two different sizes for cutting (I don't think I've ever seen a cigar as large as that second hole though). It sells for $189 with an olive wood handle or $185 with a horn wood handle. The company also makes a variety of interesting ktichen knives including a charming mezzaluna with a rooster shape.

Ribbon Project Cutlery

These unique pieces are a new set of cutlery that are more about aesthetic than utility. The LA division of Apartment Therapy brings out attention to these pieces from the Ribbon Project. They are stainless steel, made by Makoto Yamaguchi and sell for around $15 each. I'd love to see video of someone trying to eat with these but they sure are pretty.

Boulud Knife Set

Personally I'm hooked on my Wusthof-Trident knives for the kitchen but this handsome set is worth a look. The knife set was created by French chef Daniel Boulud. The knives are drop forged in high-carbon stainless steel for a sharp edge. The six knife set comes in a wood block with an aluminum base and includes a paring knife, boning knife, serrated bar knife, chef knife, slicing knife and a sharpener. The set sells for $298.
