Using this cheese tool set is a breeze. Simply pick the right cheese knife for the type of cheese you're serving. The nameplates are great for labeling different cheeses, and you can use the dry - erase marker to write on them. To keep the set in good condition, wash the stainless - steel knives with mild dish soap and warm water, then dry them thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the natural - color wood parts. Store the set in the provided book - style box when not in use to protect it from damage. And don't forget to refer to the cheese reference guide inside the box for the best cheese - eating experience.
