Acacia Cheese Board & Knife Set

A round acacia board with four cheese knives, sold as a set — the whole cheeseboard problem solved in one purchase. The board is the surface and the knives are the right shapes for the job: something open for soft cheese, something chisel-like for hard, a spreader, a fork-tip for lifting.

Round is the better shape for a cheeseboard that people stand around, because there's no head of the table and no wrong side to approach from. It works on a coffee table or handed round a room in a way a long rectangle doesn't.

Why you'll love it

• Board and knives together — nothing else to buy.
• Round for grazing — no wrong side to reach from.
• Solid acacia — dense, figured, resistant to moisture.
• Gives well — a housewarming present that gets used.
