What’s in the Set?

The Oslo set typically features three specialized knives, each designed to handle a different "family" of cheese:

• The Soft Cheese Knife: Features a very narrow blade to minimize surface area, preventing sticky cheeses like Brie or Camembert from clinging to the knife.

• The Semi-Hard Cheese Knife: Often designed with holes in the blade (to create air pockets) and a forked tip, allowing you to slice through Gouda or Cheddar and pick up the pieces to serve.

• The Hard Cheese Knife: A sturdy, almond-shaped "spade" knife used for breaking off chunks of aged, crumbly cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or extra-aged Manchego.

Design & Materials

The "Oslo" line is distinguished by its beautiful use of natural materials:

• European Oak Handles: The handles are crafted from authentic oak, providing a warm, ergonomic grip that develops a unique patina over time.

• Stainless Steel Blades: The high-quality stainless steel ensures the blades remain sharp, rust-resistant, and durable enough for a lifetime of use.

• Sleek Aesthetic: The contrast between the rugged wood and the polished steel makes these knives a sophisticated addition to any modern or rustic table setting.

The Boska Pedigree

Based in Holland, Boska has been the world’s leading specialist in cheese tools for over 125 years. Their "Cheeseware" is designed not just for cutting, but for enhancing the overall tasting experience.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure your oak handles stay beautiful for years to come:

• Hand Wash Only: Never put these knives in the dishwasher. The high heat and harsh detergents will dry out the oak and cause it to crack.

• Oil the Wood: Periodically rub the handles with a food-safe mineral oil or Boska’s own board oil to maintain the wood’s luster and water resistance.

• Dry Immediately: After washing, dry the knives thoroughly before storing them to prevent moisture from sitting on the wood.

Notable Features

• Gift-Ready: These sets usually come in high-quality packaging, making them an excellent wedding, anniversary, or "housewarming" gift for the foodie in your life.

• Compact Storage: The knives are perfectly sized to fit on a standard cheese board without cluttering the display.

• 10-Year Guarantee: Boska is so confident in the Oslo line that they typically offer a 10-year warranty, reflecting the professional-grade quality of the tools.
