Searching for cheese board and knife sets usually turns up two different things: a board with tools bundled together, or a set of cheese knives sold on its own. For wholesale buyers, that distinction changes the entire purchasing brief. This guide covers what the current Juneshing catalog actually lists, how to compare two cheese knife selections, and which details you still need to confirm before ordering. The offer here is utensils; it is not cheese.
What a cheese board and knife set typically includes
In everyday retail language, a cheese board and knife set suggests a serving board plus several cheese tools. In the Juneshing catalog, those are separate questions. The cheese knife sets and serving tools category explains that if your range includes a serving board, you should specify it separately, because a cheese knife set listing does not automatically include a board.
The category page is direct on this point: no board should be assumed from a lifestyle photograph, and the quotation and packing list must explicitly identify any serving board or additional accessory. If your product concept is a board-and-knife bundle, treat the board as an unverified component until it appears in writing.
A practical brief therefore separates three questions:
- Tools: which knife, plane, peeler or serving shapes are included?
- Board: is a board included, and if so, which one?
- Presentation: how are the pieces packed, labeled and boxed?
Comparing two cheese tool selections: CK-W02R and CK-CW01
Two product listings show how the tool side differs. The first is the Wood Handle Cheese Knife and Plane Set CK-W02R. It is described as a wood-handle selection bringing cheese knives and a cheese plane together, with stainless steel blades and wooden handles. The listing states that the product photograph and individual component list show four tools, including a cheese plane, and asks buyers to confirm the final packing list before approving the order.
The second is the 6-Piece Rosewood Handle Cheese Knife Set CK-CW01. It is described as a six-piece cheese knife selection with stainless steel blades and riveted rosewood handles. The shapes include slicing, shaving and serving tools, and the listing advises checking wood appearance and finish variation on the sample.
| Checkpoint | CK-W02R | CK-CW01 |
|---|---|---|
| Product type | Wood handle cheese knife and plane set | Rosewood handle cheese knife set |
| Blades and handles | Stainless steel blades with wooden handles | Stainless steel blades with riveted rosewood handles |
| Selection | Four illustrated tools, including a cheese plane | Six cheese tools with distinct blade shapes |
| Listed dimensions | Four component references with size and weight | Four component references with size and weight |
| Board included | Not indicated | Not indicated |
Both listings publish component reference tables. CK-W02R lists CK-W02R-01 cheese slicer knife at 153*19mm and 17 g, CK-W02R-02 cheese peeler at 145*55mm and 19 g, CK-W02R-03 cheese knife at 155*22mm and 15 g, and CK-W02R-04 cheese slicer knife at 156*22mm and 17 g. CK-CW01 lists CK-CW01-01 cheese chef knife at 196*39mm and 76 g, CK-CW01-02 cheese knife slicer at 195*35mm and 66.4 g, CK-CW01-04 cheese peeler at 223*70mm and 118.4 g, and CK-CW01-05 cheese carving knife at 223*26mm and 69.6 g.
Note the numbering gaps: CK-CW01 jumps from -02 to -04, and CK-W02R publishes four references even though the selection is described as four tools. Treat these tables as the component reference the listing says they are, and match the approved drawing and packing list against the exact pieces you intend to order.
Buyer checks before approving a cheese tool order
The catalog gives useful selection guidance, but several points remain for the buyer to confirm. Frame these as questions for your supplier rather than assumptions.
Function and shape
Compare the intended serving task first. The category page advises comparing narrow slicing knives, broad cheese scrapers, forks, perforated blades and cheese planes rather than choosing by piece count alone. It also offers examples from other models, such as the 6-Piece Stainless Steel Cheese Knife Set CK-SS01 and the 5-Piece Hole Pattern Cheese Knife Set CSS06 for buyers who want to widen the comparison. For wood-handle collections, it points to CK-CW01 and 6-Piece Wood Handle Cheese Tool Set CK-W01A.
Materials, finish and wood variation
For CK-W02R, the listing recommends reviewing plane opening, blade profile and handle attachment alongside the intended cheese types. For CK-CW01, it recommends checking wood appearance and finish variation on the sample. Stainless steel blade and wood or rosewood handle statements are model-specific; do not assume them for other models in the range.
Packing list and board status
Ask for a labeled packing list that makes every included piece clear, as the category page advises. Confirm in writing whether any serving board is part of the quoted configuration. If it is, the board needs its own specification; if it is not, your product name and artwork should not imply one.
Quote details and commercial terms
Several cheese-tool models list a 1,000-piece minimum and a 35–45-day production lead time, with a 2,000-piece threshold for logo or custom-packaging requests. These are model-specific reference terms. Both CK-W02R and CK-CW01 list those same figures, but each listing asks the buyer to confirm whether the quantity is measured per individual tool or per complete set, and to confirm the current schedule. Treat these as questions for the quotation, not as fixed entitlements.
Sample approval
Both listings call for a sample of the exact configuration and an approved final packing list before bulk production. Send model reference, selected pieces, quantity, packing or logo requirements, destination and required delivery date when requesting a price; the listings suggest adding a reference image when choosing among blade or handle options.
Private label and packaging questions
For a private-label project, the CK-W02R and CK-CW01 listings each mention a 2,000-piece threshold for logo and custom-packaging requests. The listings ask buyers to discuss artwork position, finish, packaging layout and the order unit before approving the project. They do not publish branding processes, sampling costs or specific packaging constructions, so ask for the available options and minimum order for your chosen configuration.
If your concept is a board-and-knife gift set, resolve the board question before artwork is finalized. A box designed around an unconfirmed board will need revision, and the packing list must match whatever is approved.
Frequently asked questions
Is a board included in CK-W02R or CK-CW01?
Neither listing indicates that a serving board is included. The CK-CW01 listing states that a serving board is not included unless it is specified in your quotation and approved packaging list. The CK-W02R listing describes the selection as four illustrated cheese tools including a cheese plane. Confirm the composition in writing before ordering.
Does CK-W02R include a cheese plane?
Yes. The CK-W02R listing states that the product image and component specification show a cheese plane alongside knife profiles, and asks buyers to confirm the exact assortment with the sample and quotation.
What should a buyer verify about dimensions?
Use the component reference to match the listed dimensions with your selected tool, and confirm the approved drawing and packing list before production, as both listings advise. The listing tables give size and weight references per component; they do not state board dimensions, packaging dimensions or retail box sizes.
How should I request a quote?
The listings suggest including the model reference, selected pieces, quantity, packing or logo requirements, destination and required delivery date. Add a reference image if you are choosing among several blade or handle options. Quotes, samples and packaging details are available on request through the Juneshing contact page.
Buyers should keep one principle in mind: the catalog describes cheese tools, and the board is a separate component unless a quotation says otherwise. A clear brief, a labeled packing list and an approved sample protect both the product concept and the artwork.
