Cheese Knife Set, $125 from momastore.org 

With stainless-steel blades and olive-wood handles, the set of three cheese knives by Andrea Girolami is both handsome and handy. Each is specifically shaped to tackle soft, medium, and hard cheeses so that when you carve off a hunk of parmesan nary a smear of brie or fragrant blue will commingle.
